DevPT Recipe Book

This is a food repository, made by and for all the foodies that hang at DevPT Discord's server in the culinary section.

All the recipes use Cooklang format.

Requirements

To use this vault you need:

• Obsidian installed on your machine.
• The Cooklang Editor plugin enabled in Obsidian (search for cooklang-obsidian in Community Plugins).

Once Obsidian is installed, open this folder as a vault and enable the plugin so .cook recipes render correctly.

Vault structure

The vault is split into two main parts:

• Fundamentals – culinary fundamentals such as techniques, ingredients, flavor, equipment, and kitchen workflows.
