Nêspera is an amateur project that intends to be a search engine and aggregator for Portuguese language recipes. We imagine that some reasons for its usage and spread would be the fact that it can reduce waste by incentivising the usage of existing ingredients and resources and help delay more visits to the supermarket by helping to make use of existing resources at home. We also imagine that having an ingredient map can help us for example determine the carbon cost of a certain meal, and other things. It currently maps around 2000 recipes but the plan is to extend it in the near future. It is fed via a Python web-crawler, and the app itself is written in Next.js / React and uses fuse.js to power fuzzy search on the dataset.
