In the planning stage, I recognized the importance of organizing recipes into distinct categories to enhance the user experience when selecting a recipe. Ultimately, I divided them into four sections: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sweets. Each section contains 15 recipes, resulting in approximately 60 recipe cards per box. Below, I've showcased a sample recipe from each section. On the front card, I chose a custom grid layout that incorporates serving sizes, difficulty levels, timing, and ingredients.
Additionally, a tip section, represented by a light bulb icon, is prominently featured on most recipe cards. Instead of bolding the measurements in the ingredients list as commonly seen, I opted to emphasize specific ingredients for improved readability and to prevent repetitive wording. The concise instructions are located on the back of the card. Each step is bolded and labeled according to its relevance to the recipe. Within each step, I also included measurements to streamline the cooking process and minimize the need to constantly refer back to the card.
