You will build a simple recipe search engine for cocktails. You have the following user stories to explain the basic functionality:
I can access my recipes in the browser. I get prompted with an empty search field and a Search button.
I can type e.g. sour into the search field and click on the Search button or hit enter to find all my sour recipes.
I get a search indicator, e.g. loading ... when the results are fetched.
I get all my sour recipes listed underneath the search field.
