admin.site.register(Recipe,RecipeAdmin)
admin.site.register(Ingredient, IngredientAdmin)

b:

# Models:

class Recipe(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=128)

class Ingredient(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    recipe = models.ForeignKey(Recipe)


# Admin:

class IngredientInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Ingredient

class RecipeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [IngredientInline,]

admin.site.register(Recipe,RecipeAdmin)
