Abstract

Currently, many cooking enthusiasts, especially ones who live in hostels or on a budget, struggle with disorganized recipes and lack a centralized, user- friendly platform to achieve and share their recipes. They also struggle a lot in finding ideas to cook and thus will lead to stress due to lack of ideas and inspiration for their dish. Also, many existing platforms lack structured usability evaluation and user-generated content validation, especially among student users. To address this issue, FoodieDiary, a comprehensive web-based recipe management system, is developed. The research and development process involved utilizing a modern tech stack – including HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript for interface and functionality, alongside a database using phpMyAdmin for secure data storage. The system is designed to allow users to create, store, like, and share simple recipes. The output is a functional, responsive website that streamlines the digital cookbook experience while providing users with community-driven sources of culinary inspiration. The testing result shows 100% of test modules have passed the Unit Testing, while result for User Acceptance Test (UAT) are varied, but still majority of the feedback are happy with the sharing recipe platform
