The primary goal of Pizza Lovers is to allow the users to create, save, search, and view their favorite pizza recipes in one place using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Python, Flask, and MongoDB.

The user is looking for a web-based application where they can:

• Use the CRUD conventions to:
  • Create a recipe
  • Read recipe
  • Update(Edit) recipe
  • Delete recipe they created
• Be able to search the database for recipes with keywords that query Recipe Names, Ingredients, and Alergens.

As a first-time user, I want to be able to:

• Visit the website on every device, so that I can look at the website on desktop, mobile, and tablet.
• Navigate easily through the website, so I can find everything easily.
• See an overview of all recipes, so I can get inspired by all recipes.
• Search for recipes based on words, so I can find recipes easily.
• Register for an account on the website, so I can share my recipes with other Pizza Lovers.
• Sign up for the newsletter.

As a Site Member /Returning User, I want to be able to:

• Add my recipes, so I can share my recipes with everyone else.
• Edit my recipes, so I can update information in the recipe.
• Delete my recipes, so I can remove the recipe when it is no longer relevant.
• Log in to my profile, so I have access to my recipes.
