I built a 3D interactive cookbook for 14 traditional Jamaican recipes. The tech:
- Three.js renders a photorealistic 3D flipbook with page-turn physics
- Anthropic Claude powers two distinct AI personas: a grandmother (Miss Vie) and a professional chef (Chef Marcus)
- ElevenLabs handles voice synthesis for cooking guidance
- Stripe for three pricing tiers ($14.99 / $9.99 per month / $39.99 lifetime)
- Remotion generated the marketing videos programmatically from recipe data
The cultural angle: these are recipes with 300+ year histories -- from the Maroons preserving West African smoking techniques (jerk chicken) to banana-leaf-wrapped desserts that predate the Caribbean sugar trade. My grandmother never wrote them down. This preserves them digitally.
