 CalVegan is an app for the android that provides recipes for vegans and vegetarians.  We focus on foods that are meant to be cooked outdoors — particularly on camping trips and/or hikes.

 Vegans and vegetarians are a minority. Because of this, and the rather limiting nature of their diets, there is a distinct lack of variety in food choices.  Especially on camping trips with non-veg friends, how can they figure out who cooks and what everyone eats?

 Our app focuses on making these decision easier for our user.  By providing a way of adding and modifying recipes we help with the variety  The user can review, rate, and favorite recipes and send the recipes to their friends.  The mobile device platform allows this app to be taken absolutely anywhere, which is especially useful for going on trips outdoors.
