=======Cookbooks and Recipes=======

Recipes in cookbooks need special attention to improve their accessibility. 

If anything is a list, even if it is presented as a paragraph (e.g. directions), it must be reformatted as a list.

Most recipes have the following formatting:
  * Name of Recipe
     * Format as a ''heading''. The heading level will depend on the heading hierarchy of the book. If in doubt, post on the [[public:nnels:etext:q_a|Production Q&A]]
  * Introduction, History, or Note about Recipe
     * This is often a brief paragraph that is usually a couple sentences. It does not include directions, and may not be present in all recipes. Format as ''normal''.
  * Serving information
     * If this is just one item (e.g. Serves 8 people) they keep it as its own paragraph and style as ''normal''. If it is several items (e.g. Makes 2 cups, Active time: 15 minutes, Start to finish: 15 minutes) format it as an unordered list. A list **must** be two or more items, otherwise it is not a list.
  * Ingredients
     * Insert the heading ''Ingredients'' above this section. Set the heading level to be one level lower than the heading of the Recipe. Format the ingredients as an unordered list.
  * Directions
     * Insert the heading ''Directions'' above this section. Set the heading level to be one level lower than the heading for the Recipe (i.e. same heading level at ''Ingredients''). Format the directions as an ordered list even if it is presented as a paragraph. A list **must** be two or more items, otherwise it is not a list. If in doubt, post a question on the [[public:nnels:etext:q_a|Production Q&A]].
  * Additional Notes
     * If there is additional information that begins with the term: ''Note:'' format the term with the same heading level as ''Ingredients'' and ''Directions'' and format the content note as ''normal''.
     * If there is additional information without a heading, then format as ''normal''
     * If there is a list in the note, then format as a list.

<note>Most images in a cook book are simple complexity. See [[public:nnels:etext:images:simple_images|Simple Images]] for more information on how to describe these types of images. When in doubt, ask on the [[public:nnels:etext:images:alt-text_q_a|Alt-text Q&A]].</note>
