Writing a Recipe

The recipes are stored in the collection "Recipes" (the folder /_recipes).

They are written in Markdown and contain a few special sections:

• The frontmatter, which contains:
• Title, Image, and Layout (which is "recipe")
• Ingredients (a list of things in the dish)
• Directions (a list of steps for the dish)
• Body content (for intros, stories, written detail)

Writing a component/recursive recipe

A component recipe is a recipe made up of other recipes. To make a new component recipe:

• Add a recipes list to your page
• reference the recipe you wish to include by its filename

Formatting requirements

• Tabs should be expanded to 2 spaces.
• You can't start an item in a list with double quotes
