The Barron Family Cookbook
A holiday project, digitising my extended family's recipes. Up until now, my family's recipes have existed as a PDF that my Aunt put together as a Christmas gift several years ago. I'm now putting these recipes online so they're more easily-accessible for those who want to cook my mother's lasagne.
What is this built in?
I'm using run-of-the-mill SASS on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, and a Redis database. Even a few tests in Tape since I know my Grandma will be devastated if the site goes down.
Features
- A gallery of recipes to choose from, with a thumbnail photo for each
- Clickthrough from the gallery to a dedicated page for each recipe
- Ability for anyone to add new recipes to the site
Stretch goals:
- Before adding or editing a recipe, users have to first prove they're a Barron by passing family trivia questions
- Able to leave comments or reviews on recipes, or say it has been cooked
- Sort recipes by number of times cooked or rating
