Ok, thanks.

New question (it is one of those days ;cP). At the end of this section,
after adding the methods to save changes in CategoriesForRecipe(), it is
stated
"""

I also chose to save() the new record in line 50. Dabo's delete()
already commits immediately to the backend, so we may as well make
save() immediate in this context, too. It wouldn't make sense to the
user that unchecking a category saves the change immediately, while
checking a category requires an explicit save().

 """
This is correct, it is what the code does, but I think it is
inconsistent with the rest of the form. You see, the user can change
many recipes at will but nothing will be saved (in recipes) till he
clicks the save button, but on the other hand whatever he does linking a
category to a recipe gets automatically saved. The result is that if the
user performs a series of changes to the recipes (including adding or
deleting links to categories) and then chooses not to save, the changes
will not be completely undone as the linking to categories can not be
undone.
