[TYPO3-english] Rendering sys_category tree in FE

Dear newsgroup,

i've got an extended sys_category model to categorize own "recipe" 
records. Everything is fine and rendering the category tree in the 
backend using makeCategorizable() to assign categories works. Now i 
would like to render a category tree in the frontend (like a HMENU 
does) to filter my "recipe" records. how to realize this the best way?

"categoryRepository->findAll()" returns a "flat" result where each 
category has got a "parent" property but somthing like "subcategories" 
is missing. Do i have to rebuild the category array myself to store 
each categories subcategories to be able to loop over them in fluid? Or 
are there any possibilities given by the core API or by fluid to render 
a category tree like a HMENU in the frontend?

Kind regards and "einen guten Rutsch", Jan
