REST APIs provided easy exchange of data over the internet using certain standards and protocols. This work presents the
implementation of a mobile system with the primary objective to aid to an easy categorical search for recipes on the go. This mobile
application system was developed using Android Studio. Stateless software architecture was used to make this system light and quick in
comparison to such an application with a locally stored database. This paper summarizes the implementation details and presents results
of the system in practice. An application prototype was also created demonstrating the mentioned concept.

The application has been developed using Android studio
and REST APIs. The application is extremely suitable for
everyone always on the go. It is extremely beneficial in
making healthy food choices. The application developed is
primarily to ease out the trouble of finding a perfect recipe
for a 'Sunday brunch' or a 'Tuesday dinner'. The
application provides a list of 500+ ingredients to choose
from and hence can come handy for every meal that's to be
cooked. The implementations in the feature would help
eradicate the shortcomings of the application at the
moment.
