    make sure any of your category in your list is not NULL i.e. In the database cookbook, browse the table recipe and make sure none of the category_id field is not NULL.

    Add this method to the class RecipeController:

    
  def initialize
    
    @categories = Category.find_all
    
  end

    From now on @categories will be defined when new.rhtml comes up.
