"""
1. wrong syntax for ingredient variable for get method in IngredientList class 
2. Missed the "[" before marshal keyword
"""
ingredient = [marshal(ingreidient, ingredient_fields) for ingredient in models.Ingredient.select()]

"""
You missed the "s" character for "ingredient_fields" variable 
on your decorator before get method in Ingredient class
"""
