About the Project

What’s in the Kitchen? is a recipe-focused web application designed to give users one clear place to access recipes, manage credit points, review spending, and handle payments. The experience brings recipe discovery and account management together through a simple, familiar dashboard.

Challenge

The main challenge was organizing several different actions without making the dashboard feel complicated. Users needed to browse recipe content while also understanding available credits, previous spending, card details, and payment history. The interface needed to keep all of this information accessible without overwhelming the user.

Our Approach

We focused on reducing complexity through clear hierarchy, familiar dashboard patterns, and consistent components. Recipe content and account management were treated as one connected experience rather than separate tools. Warm visual styling supports the food-focused brand, while structured cards and navigation keep the interface practical.
