Multiple Things Happen before the searched Recipe is returned to you.

• 1. The recipe is Searched for in the Redis Cache against [when recipe is searched for the first time, it is cached]
• 2. If unavailable in cache, it's looked for in the database.
• 3. If the recipe is still unavailable, Text - Davinci - 003 is used to get the recipe for that item.
• 4. The response from Text - Davinci - 003 is displayed to the user at this point of time.
• 5. The response from the Database is then added into the Database and Cached for future use.
• 6. Meanwhile, When Text - Davinci - 003 is used for fetching the recipe, the image is being looked for using Google Images Search from SERP API. The image fetched from the API is added to Cloudinary.
• 7. The image added is displayed while the Image URL is added into the recipe Database and cache for future use.
