Setup instructions

• Assuming you already have Xcode 26 installed in your computer, you should be able to compile this project without any issues.

High-level architecture overview

• This project mainly uses MVVM architecture.
• MVVM promotes clear separation of concerns between the UI, business logic, and the data layer.
• Improves testability of the business logic which mostly resides in ViewModels.

Key design decisions

• I opted for a list-style approach instead of Grid as each row provides better spacing for recipe info.
• Kept the overall design as simple as possible letting each recipe standout.
• Added image URL to the Recipe information apart from the minimum required attributes just to balance it a little bit.
• Note though that not all recipe images are correct. Some are just placeholders and the rest are even inaccessible.

Assumptions and tradeoffs

• App only works for a fixed number of recipes. Needs additional work to support batching and reloading.
• Only tested on iPhone Simulator. May look vastly different on tablets in terms of the amount of spacing and layout.

Any known limitations

• Filter isn't completed yet. Doesn't limit filters based on the search result set as of now.
• Recipe data used in this app is AI generated. May contain incorrect information.
