HTML5 for semantic structure , CSS3 for styling and responsiveness

Solution retrospective
I'm most proud of:
Completing the project with clean, organized HTML and CSS.
Properly using Flexbox and media queries to make the page fully responsive across different screen sizes.
Matching the style guide accurately, especially with typography and layout spacing.
Learning how to better structure tables and use semantic HTML for accessibility.
What I would do differently next time:
Spend more time optimizing the CSS by using reusable utility classes to avoid repetition.
Plan the layout with CSS Grid for even more control over the design structure.
Try to implement animations or small transitions to make the page feel more interactive.
Pay even more attention to fine-tuning responsiveness at different breakpoints beyond just 768px.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?Challenges I faced:
Vertical centering the content: Initially, it was difficult to center the recipe card both vertically and horizontally on the page, especially across different screen sizes.
Responsive layout issues: Making the layout look good on both small and large screens was tricky, particularly getting the nutrition facts table to adjust properly.
Following the style guide exactly: Small details like the correct border-radius, font weight, and spacing required careful checking to match the design.
How I overcame them:
I researched how to use Flexbox for centering, using properties like justify-content: center and align-items: center.
I applied a mobile-first approach with CSS media queries to handle different screen sizes step-by-step.
I continuously compared my project to the original design and made small adjustments until everything looked consistent.
I also referred to the Front End Mentor community tips and documentation when I got stuck on certain CSS properties.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I would appreciate feedback on:
CSS structure and organization: Are there ways I can make my CSS cleaner or more efficient (e.g., using reusable classes, better naming)?
Responsiveness: Are there improvements I could make to better handle different screen sizes or devices beyond just using a single media query?
Accessibility: Is there anything I could do to make my HTML more accessible, such as better use of semantic tags or improvements for screen readers?
Visual alignment and spacing: Did I correctly match the design, or are there small visual details I should improve?
