Cookbook | Help pages
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.
These image pages are useful in that clicking on them brings you to a list of recipes of a particular difficulty. Note, we borrowed these images from the German Cookbook (Kochbuch), which has since been moved to the de:wikibooks.org domain, but there still may be a few German language recipes floating around.
Here is a list of sample recipes using the template.
Template for recipe submissions
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes
| Cuisine | Type of course
*/ 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. The ingredients should be linked to using the "pipe trick", ie [[Cookbook:carrot|]], which produces carrot. 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 immediately 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 equipped 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. /*
Warnings
- Warning 1
- Warning 2
- etc.
