Recipes information source

The information pertinent to the recipes shown on the website, such as recipe names, descriptions, ingredients, ingredient images, and preparing instructions, are fetched from the Spoonacular food and recipes API.

Before displaying any information to the user, I decided to filter the data received from Spoonacular API, removing from it some words and terms related to allergies or special diets such as "gluten free" and "lacto ovo vegetarian". The words I remove from the content are replaced by asterisk (*) characters.
