User Stories

1. Find Recipes by all selected ingredients As a user, I want to search for recipes that match all the ingredients I have so that I can discover meals I can fully prepare. I can input multiple ingredients, and the app will show only recipes that include all of them.

2. Find recipes by at least one ingredient As a user, I want to find recipes that match at least one of my ingredients so that I can make use of what I have at home.

3. Ingredient suggestions As a user, I want real-time suggestions while typing ingredients so that I can quickly find and add them without typing full names.

Future Enhancements Expand ingredient matching to group similar items (e.g., flour matches oat flour). Improve relevance ranking for recipes with partial ingredient matches. Add sorting options (e.g., by preparation time, popularity). Introduce filtering (e.g., vegetarian recipes, difficulty level).

The database is pre-filled with a small sample of recipes for demonstration purposes.
