How good is a recipe-sharing app without the ability to add and edit recipes? Our site will allow us to create recipes that can be shared with other people. It will also allow us to edit recipes that we have contributed to the site.

As we find good recipes, we will want to be able to locate them again. We need to support adding them to a library. We may also grow tired of them so we need the ability to remove them as well.

Much as we rate music to better identify our tastes, we should do this with beer too. Our app will provide users the ability to rate recipes on a scale of one to five.

We not only want to share recipes, but to solicit feedback on what makes good beer and how to make our beer better. To allow this type of feedback, we want to allow constructive comments about the recipes on our site.

We want our recipes hosted within our mobile web app to be available to the world, but if a user wants to contribute to the site we want to know who the user is. Likewise, we don't want users editing the recipes contributed by other users. Seems like we need to add some authentication and authorization to our mobile app.

Now that we know what our app should do, let's get started by creating our ASP.NET MVC 4 solution.
