What they did
After an unsatisfactory Gemini prototype, the author used Claude Code's planning workflow to structure the rebuild. A one-time TypeScript scraper collected recipes and photos; the app bundled them as static data with oven-program details and English cooking steps.
How it went
The author reports collecting 52 recipes and reducing App.tsx from 530 lines to 65 while separating the views and components.
Worth knowing
At the time of this article, mobile deployment and feedback from the daughter were next steps, rather than demonstrated adoption.
