Background
As a recipe content aggregator, COVID-19 brought an unprecedented impact to Yummly, as shifting consumer behaviors led to a surge in home cooking. With more people at home, data showed a sharp rise in healthy recipe traffic, as users looked for nutritious ideas, tried new cuisines, and searched for easier ways to plan meals. I was tasked to investigate the sudden demand for recipes during Covid-19 to explore new premium product opportunities for Yummly users.

Research
I conducted five 45-minute one-on-one interviews with Yummly seed users to deep-dive the impact of COVID-19 and how it influenced their daily usage.
