🚀 Overview

The Food Recipes Flutter App is a production-ready mobile application for Android and iOS that helps users
discover, cook, and organize meals. It features recipe collections, step-by-step instructions, cooking timers, nutrition details,
and a built-in meal planner + grocery list.

Built from real home-cooking workflows—searching by ingredients, bookmarking favorites, and planning weekly menus—
it’s ideal for publishers, food bloggers, chefs, and wellness brands who want a polished, white-label experience.
