Cookbook:Policy/Recipe template (Redirected from Cookbook:Recipe template)
Cookbook | Recipe Index
This is a template page. Please do not add recipes here.
This is a recommended template for recipes that are submitted to the cookbook. Please note that this is only a guideline. Feel free to add more sections, or omit some (although the recipe needs to be useful).
The five dot system is used to represent the relative difficulty of a recipe. Please keep these descriptions in mind when assigning a difficulty score.
- - You can boil water, right?
- - Fairly easy
- - Medium difficulty
- - Fairly hard
- - Are you the Iron Chef?
These image pages are useful in that clicking on them brings you to a list of recipes of a particular difficulty. Note, however, that we borrowed these images from the German Cookbook (Kochbuch), so not all the recipes listed will be in English.
Here is a list of sample recipes using the template.

*/ A short description of the recipe should go here;
anywhere from one sentence to a paragraph or two is
acceptable. Describe who uses the dish, and how, as
well as anything normally prepared with it. Stories
of the recipe's creation or other anecdotes are perfectly
acceptable.
A photo of the completed dish would be helpful, and
should be in the lead section, perhaps attached to the
table somehow. /*
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 mL) item one
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) item 2
- etc.
- (but not on this template page -- make a new page with a new name)
*/ The ingredients should be listed in the order they
are called for in the procedure below. If optional
ingredients and substitutions would make this list less
readable, place them in the notes, tips, or variations
section instead (if they are specific to some different
cooking procedure) or place them in a second list after
the first one. Otherwise, simply mark them "(optional)".
Consider using separate lists for filling and shell,
meat and sauce, and so on. /*
*/ Quantities should be listed in whichever system (imperial
or metric) the recipe was created in, with the other system's
equivalent values listed immediatly after, in "()". This
lets users know which units are "original" and which are
estimated conversions. Always provide volume measurements.
In some countries, kitchens are simply not equiped to measure
by mass or weight. (yes, they lack a balance or scale)
Do not specify the size of normal chicken eggs; "Large" in
the USA is similar to "size M" (not size L) in the EU, and
other countries will surely have their own ideas as well. /*
Procedure
- Step one
- Step two
- etc.
- (but not on this template page -- make a new page with a new name)
*/ Photos of the procedures as they are completed should
be in |thumb| format, so a caption identifying what step
is being performed can be included in the pic. /*
Notes, tips, and variations
- Note 1
- Tip 1
- Variation 1
- etc.
*/ This area can be used for any additional information
that doesn't fit in other areas of the recipe module. /*
