What is an article?

On Cookipedia there are generic templates that are used to provide content. We strive to keep these in a standard format in order that the users can feel comfortable with the look and the feel of Cookipedia. Please use standard rules of English for capitalisation of article names.

An image of the recipe or the ingredients, a recipe summary, the number of servings, a list of ingredients, the preparation/ cooking methods in list form, serving suggestions and other possible sections such as variations and Chef's tips.

When you have created your page using the template, please choose a unique, logical name for your image and rename the image in the template text.
