My Grandma’s Recipe is a passion project and digital platform concept designed to preserve family recipes, stories, and traditions across generations. The project blends digital storytelling, community contribution, and cultural preservation, transforming handwritten recipes into a searchable, shareable, and accessible online experience.

The platform is built around the idea that recipes are more than instructions, they are living records of family history, identity, and connection.

Family recipes are often scattered across handwritten cards, notebooks, and fading memories. As generations pass, these cultural artifacts are easily lost, inaccessible, or never shared beyond immediate family.

There is no simple, inclusive platform designed specifically to:

• Preserve handwritten recipes

• Capture the stories behind them

• Make them accessible to families and future generations

My Grandma’s Recipe proposes a community-driven digital platform that allows users to:

• Digitize and preserve handwritten family recipes

• Share stories, notes, and cultural context alongside recipes

• Convert recipes by serving size and measurement

• Organize collections by family, generation, or theme

• Contribute to a shared archive of family and cultural food history

The platform is designed to grow in phases, starting with content collection and validation, and expanding into interactive and community-based features.

I developed and continue to lead the project by:

• Defining the platform vision, mission, and feature roadmap

• Designing content structure and user flows for recipe preservation

• Writing foundational copy and storytelling frameworks

• Planning phased rollout, including MVP, beta, and funding strategy

• Exploring crowdfunding and grant opportunities to support development

• Positioning the platform for families, historians, and community contributors

.

• Preserves family recipes and stories that would otherwise be lost
• Creates a shared digital archive of cultural and generational knowledge
• Encourages intergenerational connection through food and storytelling
• Provides a foundation for future community, educational, and nonprofit partnerships
