Chef de casa: Desenvolvimento de um site de receitas voltado para culinária doméstica

Abstract

With the advancement of technology and the growing interest in everyday cooking, opportunities arise for the development of platforms that facilitate access to recipes in an organized and accessible way. This Final Course Project aims to develop a cooking website designed for both beginners and users with greater culinary experience, offering an intuitive interface and resources that encourage culinary learning, autonomy in food preparation, and the adoption of healthier eating habits. The proposal is based on the guidelines of the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines, which emphasize the consumption of fresh or minimally processed foods and highlight the importance of home cooking.To build the system, similar websites were analyzed, essential requirements were defined, and functionalities such as recipe categorization, user registration and login, user dashboard, favorite recipes, and community recipe submission were developed. The website was implemented using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, prioritizing responsiveness, information organization, and usability.After the development phase, user testing was conducted to validate the system’s functionalities, identify improvements, and enhance the navigation experience. The entire process was documented, highlighting its technical and social relevance, as the project facilitates access to practical homemade recipes and encourages the culture of cooking at home in a simple, accessible, and collaborative way.
