In the controller, the logic to create a Recipe has been written in new method and just a recipe is just initialized in create method. But in the routes the create method has a POST call(form submission with data) and the new method is a GET.

So all you need to do is just change the name of the 'create' method as 'new' and change the name of the 'new' method as 'create' in your controller.

i.e)

def create
    @recipe = Recipe.create(params[:recipe])
    if @recipe.save
        redirect_to recipe_new_path
    else
        reload_page
    end
  end

  def new
   @recipe = Recipe.new
  end

This will work.
