LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

What's Cooking?

Say HELLO to ‘What’s Cooking’. My thesis project is a cooking app which is currently still a prototype and work-in-progress. I am eager to continue this journey in bringing my project to life. My dream is for this to become a fully functional app and with dedication, hard work and A LOT more time anything is possible. I was trying to find the balance between home cooking and ordering in. I can go from cooking a five course meal to barley having a second to eat. I myself struggle to fit cooking into my ‘busy’ life. When creating ‘What’s Cooking’, I wished there was a platform that combined all cooking apps and resources into one. My goal was to create a place where everyone of any cooking level can come together and not only learn how to cook but find the time to cook at home.

About the designer

Hey! My name is Santana Miele, I am a multidisciplinary designer and an OCAD University graduate. When I am not at my computer working, you can find me in the kitchen translating my design creativity to the art of cooking. My passion and drive for art since i was 4 years old has brought me to where i am today. When people used to question "WhAT aRe YOu GoINg tO Do wITh ArT?"; I would use it as fuel to keep working hard at what i loved to do. My interests include packaging design, branding, UI/UX, and product design.

Ragged or Justified?

Justified

The screens that are designed were chosen to give the best look & feel of my entire app. These screens are key features to this app and are the ones that best represent ‘Whats Cooking’. They have been specially curated to give the best ‘flavour’ and ‘taste’ of whats to come.

‘What’s Cooking’ is an app that encourages you to wear your own ‘chef’ hat. We believe that there is a little ‘chef’ in everyone. The everyday question that we all have. “What’s for dinner?” is the inspiration I had for my app name and logo.

We are friendly, reliable, inviting and a fun environment created right from home. Our goal is for you to be excited to experiment and feel comfortable and confident in your kitchen. ‘What’s Cooking’ is a technology aid to ‘keep the kitchen alive’. An app that cares about YOU.

From easily being able to join, getting to know you, your profile, our motivational game, recipes, when your feeling a little tired just activate lazy mode, video chat with friends, a large community group, daily meal planner and so much more!

We want you to partake in a new cooking adventure that allows you to step out of your comfort zone. So what are you waiting for... 'What's Cooking' today?
