Overview

The dish preparation module allows users to input a dish name and retrieve detailed step-by-step procedures for preparing that dish. Upon entering a dish name, the module searches the database for the relevant recipe and displays the preparation steps, including ingredients, cooking times, and methods. The user is guided through the process with clear instructions, ensuring a smooth experience. If the dish name is not found, the system provides a friendly error message, prompting the user to try a different name. The interface is designed for ease of use, with intuitive navigation that allows users to explore different recipes or modify their input easily.
