Cookify is a meticulously crafted Tailwind CSS component kit designed specifically for creating visually appealing and functional card layouts. This versatile toolkit streamlines your development process by providing pre-designed, responsive card templates tailored for recipe websites, culinary apps, and food-focused platforms. Eliminate repetitive styling work and implement professional interfaces faster with this collection of ready-to-use components.
Core Features That Enhance Your Workflow
Built on Tailwind CSS Foundation
Leverage the full power of Tailwind’s utility-first framework for rapid customization. The card designs follow Tailwind conventions, making it simple to adjust padding, colors, spacing, and typography using familiar utility classes. Modify any aspect without writing custom CSS – adjust card dimensions with p-4 or m-6, change backgrounds using bg-amber-100, or implement hover effects with transition utilities.
Comprehensive Dark Mode Support
Automatically adaptive components feature carefully crafted dark theme variants. The included cards use Tailwind’s dark mode modifiers like dark:bg-gray-800 and dark:text-gray-200 for seamless transitions between color schemes. Implementation requires just adding the dark mode configuration in your tailwind.config.js file – the cards handle the rest, ensuring perfect readability in all lighting conditions.
Full RTL Layout Compatibility
Global-ready designs automatically flip orientation for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. The kit utilizes Tailwind RTL support with logical properties and the dir="rtl" attribute, correctly repositioning icons, text alignment, and visual hierarchies. This ensures your culinary platform maintains professional polish when catering to international audiences.
Specialized Card Designs
The kit features multiple card variations specifically designed for food-related content presentation:
Recipe Cards

- Style 2 (Grid-friendly Layout): Compact design with left-aligned thumbnails optimized for masonry layouts. Displays rating stars and category tags prominently.
- Style 3 (Minimalist Approach): Clean typography-focused cards that prioritize recipe difficulty levels and dietary tags using subtle border accents and iconography.
