WP_Query not using custom taxonomy categories on custom post type

WP_Query only returns WP_Post objects for the results. To get the taxonomy terms for each post you need to use get_the_terms( $post, 'recipe_categories' ); for each post.

This is because WP_Post represents each row of wp_posts, which does not include taxonomy information. The links between posts and terms is in the wp_term_relationships table.
