This is a submission for Frontend Challenge – Comfort Food Edition, Perfect Landing
What I Built
This is a blast from the past, but it’s so lovely I couldn’t resist submitting it for this challenge.
Kitchen-Sune is a community-driven international recipe book built in collaboration with Front-End Foxes members when we pivoted our nonprofit’s efforts from in-person workshops to an international online boot camp during the pandemic. It brings together comfort food recipes from around the globe into a sleek, accessible, and user-friendly Vuepress web application where food lovers and developers alike can discover new dishes.
We were happy to host recipes from Ukraine, Kenya, Nigeria, and everywhere in between. Between Jalebi Babies, Moin-Moin, Puff Puff, and Strawberry Mush, we’ve got you covered for comfort food!

Journey
Revisiting and showcasing this project was a nostalgic process. Working on a community recipe project taught me the importance of building inclusive, easy-to-navigate web interfaces for diverse content as an educatioal tool. We used to use this repo as a way to train boot camp enrollees in how to use GitHub and make a PR to a repo.
What I Learned: No matter where we are in our journey, food brings us together.
What I’m Proud Of: How timeless and clean the aesthetic remains, making it easy for anyone to find a warm, cozy meal to cook or a snack to throw together (Pandemic Cookies, anyone?).
What’s Next: Let’s keep going! Add your recipe via a PR to the GitHub repo. And I’d love to have more photos to show off your work.
