##Motivation As a part of the Google AdMob Challenge, my team and I are creating a Android application to will suggest recipes and suggest which ingredients will go wel with others.
To train our predictive model, we need large amounts of recipes and ingredients to allow our app to develop such a model. As such, I created a web crawler tailored towards looking over recipes on www.foodnetwork.ca, and retrieving ingredients from various recipes.
