Overview
The Gourmet Moose is a personal recipe website intended to collect, classify, and give access to personal and family recipes. The dynamic nature of the site makes for easy editing and note-taking on changes made to ingredients or processes. The website is built with Jekyll static-site generator on Ruby, and hosted on Netlify via automatic deploy from Github. The design is a complete customization of a Gem-based theme. It is responsive, has an integrated JavaScript search feature, image gallery and lightbox viewer (images accompany the recipes where available). Categories and tagging are used for filtering recipes by course and cuisine.
