Now I can cook! a little.

  Yummy's recipe binder Well the recent events, where we had to stay at home, had some positive outcomes. I learnt how to cook!  My wife taught me some of her recipes. My earlier cooking skills were limited to making an omelette or making tea. Now I know some more cooking. Here is a list of what I can treat my guests or myself with. It is empowering! All these are nicely collected in my recipe binder.

Building Recipe Binder Online: Fixing bootstrap panel height in Yii2

While building Recipe Binder Online the list of recipes are displayed on the landing page in bootstrap panels.
