Apple Pie Recipe

Description

This is a recipe for an apple pie, which is a seemingly generic but household classic, especially around the holiday season. It consists of a pie crust filled with cinnamon-covered sliced apples. Needless to say, it is a one way ticket to Flavor Town. Hot or cold, with or without extra toppings or desserts, the apple pie does not disappoint.

Sample Imagery

I will be creating my own imagery, but this is generally how it will look.

Recipe Website Examples

AllRecipes

The AllRecipes website immediately displays a video that briefly goes over how to make the dish that is clicked on. There are detailed verbal explanations of the ingredients and making process that someone can follow along with as well as the written-out instructions. The added aspect of timing credentials and serving sizes as some of the first bits of information is also helpful because it allows users to know if they have the time and capacity to make the dish in question.

Food Network

The Food Network website does a nice job of keeping the information concise, as the ingredients and directions are on the same level under the image of the food. The ingredients are automatically added to a shopping list which is linked to various grocery delivery services in case viewers need to order something. This site too includes timing as well as the level of difficulty associated with each dish.

Yummly

The Yummly website gives prominence to the nutrition facts of the dish, as there are clickable prompts for brief and more extensive health information. A key difference too is that the grocery services that can be accessed for getting ingredients are more readily apparent.

Website Examples

Basic®

The interface of the Basic® website is very fluid and displays the information well. There is a balanced combination of words and moving imagery, but the text clearly conveys what a particular section is talking about.

Netamorphosis

The Netamorphosis website centralizes much of its text, and the wide margins help viewers to focus on what the text says, which is already labeled clearly. The images take up more of the screen space, which balances out the white/blank spaces in the margins. The website also uses icons for certain sections for a quick understanding of what the sections are; granted, some icons seem more related than others.

Urby

The Urby website wastes no time letting viewers know what their website and business are about. The minimal color palette blends well with the earthy tones of the images, and the bold text draws viewers to each section. This site too uses icons, but the majority of them seem a lot clearer than Netamorphosis.
