The Great British Bake Off Analysis

Overview

This project is a practice project to keep the data skills I gained sharp. The project first collected a large dataset on the popular tv show The Great British Bake Off. We then performed web scraping to get ingredients from the technical bakes. I then used natural language processing to extract ingredient quantities. Lastly I used the Food Data Central API to calculate nutrition information for the technical bakes.

Results

The project is still in development. We plan to have a webpage hosted on github pages to display our project results. There will be a data viewer to interface with our data set and a section to view the nutrition information for all the technical bakes.

Responsibilities

Front End Design - Designed the final format and function of the application and worked with team member to ensure each section works as intended.
Natural Language Processing - I created a series of regular expressions to take the recipe in string format and output a dictionary containing all of the ingredients and their measurements.
Nutrition Calculation - Interfaced with the Food Data Central Nutrition API to collect key macro nutrient totals for each technical bake.
