Serving the purpose of a menu screen, Maggi kitchen gives access to all functionalities. Links are presented as common kitchen items, contributing to the overall theme of fun and joy.
Categories screen
Shows all categories, presented by a picture and text for easier recognition. The pictures are in tiles, in a scrollable list held by a chef. Top positions are given to a “add recipe”, “my recipes” and “favorites” buttons, which stay static when scrolling.

The screen presents the unique functionality of searching for recipes by entering one or many ingredients. Users tab the input box on the top and enter the name of a product, than just shake the device and a list of recipes is presented. The text input is made easy by auto suggestions from a library of ingredients.
