NOTES

You will need access to the everycook DB (see Everycook’s github documentation). For now settings are hardcoded in the file simple_api.py, you will need to change the DB config in there in the following line

  engine = create_engine(                                                                                                                               
	'mysql://root:root@localhost/ec',                                                                                                                 
	encoding='ISO-8859-1',                                                                                                                            
	convert_unicode=True)
