Building a recipe app with Vanilla JavaScript involves several steps. Here's a general outline of the process:

Set Up the Project Structure:

Create a new project folder with an index.html file.
Create a CSS file for styling (e.g., style.css).
Create a JavaScript file for your app logic (e.g., app.js).
Design the User Interface:

Determine the layout and components needed for your recipe app.
Create the necessary HTML elements to display recipes, search functionality, and other relevant features.
Apply CSS styles to enhance the visual appearance of the app.
Fetch Recipe Data:

Identify a source for your recipe data, such as an API or a local JSON file.
Use JavaScript's Fetch API or XMLHttpRequest to retrieve recipe data here keytoinfo.com/asynchronously.
Parse the JSON response and extract the relevant information.
