The foods page was the most difficult to design due to the amount of information we wanted to display to the user. In contrast with our previous design iterations, we removed a lot of the buttons at the top of the food list panel (recipe search, tags, select). We did this to either simplify the design (by keeping recipe search functionality entirely on the recipe page) or eliminating confusing/unintuitive operations (tags and select). We also decided to make the list of foods sortable by all of the categories, but we were unable to include proper icons to indicate that the list is sortable. Hence, the functionality is there, but the affordance is not.
In our final implementation, we made several alterations to the "add food" modal dialogue box. We changed the "tags" section to a more explicit "location" section and included icons for each of the possible locations. We also included a default purchase amount of $0.
