description: This research was conducted by an undergraduate team of three students to explore solutions to finding imitation recipes for local restaurants and eateries. The focus of this project was to design and implement geolocating software to identify restaurants and eateries closest to your location based on proximity filtering. This would allow users to view restaurants in the local area and be able to identify recipes based on the dishes that those restaurants offer. The team used Mapbox API to create these geolocating functions and scraped recipe data to a database from highly rated and well-known imitation recipe websites. While other websites exist based on imitation recipes, our site’s success will be measured by the simplicity of use, geolocation accuracy, and information provided to the user. The employed methods have the potential to create a very user friendly and all-encompassing source for information based on recipe searches and user location. The results indicate that the proposed geographical sorting displays data accurately and concisely and recipe information is launched. However, some of our platforms created inconsistencies in their relationship, limiting functionality between our map and recipe database. Future work with more time and significant simplification of functions would lead to an improvement in terms of feature combinations and user accessibility.
