TasteBud — AI-native zero-waste cooking app
THE PROBLEM
A third of all food gets wasted. TasteBud tackles this by turning
what's already in your kitchen into smart, personalized recipes —
with zero waste.
THE IDEA
Scan your fridge, pantry and fresh produce: the AI detects every
ingredient and its freshness. Then the core innovation kicks in —
one tap reshapes the entire app to match who you are:
⚡ Student Rush — fast, cheap, minimal equipment
🏠 Busy Mom — family meals with hidden veggies for the kids
🌿 Eco-Chef — zero-waste gourmet with carbon impact
Colors, fonts, recipes and tone all adapt instantly through Figma
variable modes — a single tap reshapes the whole experience.
Recipes also adapt to context: cook with only what you scanned
(Fridge Only), add common pantry staples (Pantry Boost), or get a
minimal shopping suggestion for later (Shop a Little).
The recipe detail screen lets you check off ingredients, run an
interactive timer, and see your real impact — grams of food saved.
THE WORKFLOW
Built entirely in Figma. Designed and prototyped in Figma Make, with
every image — fridge backgrounds and recipe photos — generated in
Figma Weave for a fully consistent visual identity. From idea to
interactive, playable prototype.
WHAT'S NEXT — FUTURE VISION (not yet in the prototype)
These features are part of the product roadmap, not the current
build. The prototype focuses on the core experience above. Next
steps would include:
🤖 Smart equipment matching — onboarding would detect which
appliances you own (Instant Pot, Thermomix, Ninja Foodi…) and adapt
each recipe's instructions, with options tailored to your country.
🌍 Localized recipes — suggestions adapted to your local cuisine
based on location.
🗓️ Meal planning — generate menus for a day, an evening or a full
week using only what's already in your kitchen.
🛒 Smart shopping list — when a recipe needs just a couple of extra
items, build a minimal list with an estimated cost.
The goal: move people from "what do I cook tonight?" to a stress-free,
zero-waste kitchen — saving food, money, and mental load.
