Recipe creator is my very first application created on Python, you can see the repository of this project here:

Recipe Picker is an app created on Python and based on a tutorial from YouTube, from the channel "Python Simplified" (YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PythonSimplified) this simple app gives the user random recipes with just one click, giving the user full and detailed information about the recipe, mainly the ingredients of it, here is an example image of the app:

This project uses the following technologies and packages, you can find a file with all the packages used in this project on the main branch.
Customtkinter: This is the main package used on this project and is in charge of everything related to the GUI, in this project I use Customtkinter because of it's similarity with the normal Tkinter, and also because of it's modern interfrace which makes the GUI feel more advanced and clean in comparision with the normal Tkinter.
PIL: PIL or Python Imaging Library is the package that I used in this project to be able to load all the images used on the application.
SQLite3: This database is used to store all the information of the recipes such as recipes names, ingredients, quantity and unit, while keeping it organized so that it can be easily modified.
Numpy: Used for randomly selecting the recipes.
sys and os: To obtain all the resources used, this could be images, fonts and the database.
Pyglet: To easily add and load custom fonts on the app.
Pyinstaller: To create the .exe file of the app and used it on different devices.
