Q: Why we should make two classes. Recipe and Render? Answer: Class is a way to group together common functionalities. The use of recipe class is to create a recipe and the use of render class is to show the recipe on to the browser.

Q: Why can't we use one class? Answer: In real world projects as the code base increases it would be hard to maintain if we do not separate functions like this.
