The user can be able to categorise the recipe (e.g., Italian, French, Chinese, Indian, Irish, etc.) and then search for recipes matching a particular category. The user can be able to create their categories themselves, i.e., one user may create categories about Chinese dishes, and another user may create categories about Italian dishes, etc. A user can be able to categorise their recipes only by the categories they have created. An unregistered user can be able to only view recipes, by selecting all the categories available in the system.
