Alexa skill which allows users to save lists of their favourite dishes and then have them read back in a random order when in need of some menu inspiration. Deployed via AWS Lambda

Improvement TODOs:

• UNIT TESTS
• add a step to the save dish flow which checks that Alexa has interpreted the custom slot correctly
• add multiple strings for each phrase (such as saveSuccess and stop) and shuffle between them so that the experience feels less repetitive
• find a better way to save the suggestions to the DynamoDB than concatenating and stringifying
