Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a chemist in my real life. I bake a lot and wanted a better way to keep track of what I've done, and share when people ask me for recipes.
I figured it would be cool to be able to search by the real important criteria, like whether I needed to turn on my oven or have a working mixer.
Turns out if you're willing to go decipher obscure texts and gulp from a firehose, there's all kinds of interesting tools out there.
Here I'm using the content management system Sanity to set up a database, and building out a website accessible to mortals using Eleventy and Tailwind.
Deciding how to structure my recipe data got a little overwhelming, so I took a step back to think about it while I made individual pages with pictures for each of my several dozen succulents. Like a very reasonable person.
I may write up a guide on what exactly I did and put it here, because this is my website now and no one can stop me.
