Cookbook API

The project is a Django-based Cookbook API designed to manage and share culinary recipes. It utilizes Django Rest Framework for creating RESTful APIs, supporting operations like listing, creating, updating, and deleting cookbooks. The API employs JWT for authentication, ensuring that only authenticated users can perform certain actions. Cookbooks are the primary entities, with functionality to list a user's own cookbooks and manage cookbooks through CRUD operations. The project is structured to support scalability and secure access, with considerations for production deployment, including static and media file management with Digitalocean Storage in a production environment.
