Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a user tries to, e.g., delete a recipe, a popup asking for confirmation appears. Most of the time the user doesn't click this button accidentally, so it forces an unnecessary step - clicking okay to confirm.
Describe the solution you'd like
The action (example: delete the recipe) should be executed immediately. A small message could appear at the top to undo the last action (example: restore the recipe). Or formulated in a different way: Offer undo actions instead of asking for confirmation.
This can apply also for any other actions like #310.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping the popups / adding popups where there are non atm.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the recipe deletion flow and other confirmation popups, including the related behavior referenced in issue #310. Define the affected actions and verify that each executes immediately, presents an undo option, and restores the prior state when undo is used.
