Recipe Websites

The Mediterranean Dish - This website is fairly organized but still a little clustered due to the typography choices and the floating elements. I like the categories bar on the top of the home page, which makes it easier for the user to navigate through the site and can prompt the user's interest.

Mealime - The personalization features are really strong on this website, including the ability to customize portion sizes and filter by dietary restrictions and preferred diet, tailoring the content to individual user needs. The conscise layout and interface also reduces unnecessary distractions.

Gordan Ramsay - The typography is clear with good hierarchy. The bolded tags attached to each recipe makes it easy to quickly filter out certain recipes. The lack of unncessary elements such as the life story of the author or the origin stories of the recipe is refreshing and ensures that the recipe itself is the focal point. The horizontal layout also makes it possible to save the recipe by one screenshot.

Non-recipe Websites

My Delhi Streetfood - The website captures Indian restuarants' fun, electric, and lively feel with the font choice, color palette, and animation.

C2 Montreal - The vertical navigation menu is unique, convenient, and clean. I think it can be implemented on the recipe page, since a recipe has multiple sections like ingredients and instructions.

Behind the Seams: GOTS 2024 - The use of green and cartoonic illustrations enhances the ecological-friendly and "healthy" themes of the website, which are similar to my recipe.
