(Java) incompatible types: Object cannot be converted to Recipe

I want my code to print out the recipe object that contains the name that the user inputs in the terminal.

I get the error in the title down in the line "for(Recipe x : list)". I don’t understand why this occurs because the list is initialized as a Recipe ArrayList and I am going through the loop with a Recipe object. Any help is appreciated.

public class RecipeSearch {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList<Recipe>();
        System.out.println("File to read:");
        String file = scanner.nextLine();
        try(Scanner reader = new Scanner(Paths.get(file))){
            while(reader.hasNextLine()){
                String name = reader.nextLine();
                int time = Integer.valueOf(reader.nextLine());
                Recipe recipe = new Recipe(name, time);
                list.add(recipe);
                while(reader.hasNextLine()){
                    String ingredient = reader.nextLine();
                    if(ingredient.isEmpty()){
                        break;
                    }
                    recipe.addIngredient(ingredient);
                }
            }
        } catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Error");
        }
        System.out.println("Commands:");
        System.out.println("find name - searches recipe by name");
        while(true){
            String input = scanner.nextLine();
            if(input.equals("find name")){
                System.out.println("Searched word:");
                String name = scanner.nextLine();
                for(Recipe x : list){
                    //THIS LOOP WON'T COMPILE
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


public class Recipe {
    private String name;
    private int time;
    private ArrayList<String> ingredients;
    public Recipe(String name, int time){
        this.name = name;
        this.time = time;
        this.ingredients = new ArrayList<>();
    }
    public String getName(){
        return this.name;
    }
    public int getTime(){
        return this.time;
    }
    public ArrayList<String> getIngredients(){
        return this.ingredients;
    }
    public void addIngredient(String ingredient){
        this.ingredients.add(ingredient);
    }
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return this.name + ", cooking time: " + this.time;
    }
}

>Solution :

The problem is here:

ArrayList list = new ArrayList<Recipe>();

You need specific the datatype in the declaration of the list (or cast it in the for)

You should write it like this:

List<Recipe> list = new ArrayList<Recipe>();

It doesn’t have to be List, but it’s good practice to use the parent interface
