Clau's Kitchen: My mom's tool to share what she loves most 👩🏻‍🍳

Clau's Kitchen is a warm and welcoming recipe website built with Astro, designed to celebrate Paraguayan cuisine and share meaningful dishes with the world. From traditional chipas to heartfelt cooking tips, Clau’s Kitchen brings homemade joy to your browser. This is a mini webdev project where I am applying what I learned about Astro, CSS, and HTML during my Cardinal Quarter experience. I made this webpage for my mom because she loves cooking and sharing her recipes with family and friends.

Clau's Kitchen Home

First of all, I started this project with a minimal Astro template. npm create astro@latest -- --template minimal

I made use of AI as a tutor, using Copilot and ChatGPT-4. This static webpage taught me a lot, and I am pleased with the result!
