'xcookybooky' is a package for entering recipes and layout them in a nice way. It has the possibility to insert two pictures above the other recipe content. Besides it is possible to add several recipe properties as well as an introduction, suggestions and a hint. This package is inspired by the 'cookybooky' package by J�rgen Gilg, which requires some special packages and fonts and cannot create a PDF file directly. This limitations are reversed. As a result of the changes not all options known from 'cookybooky' are implemented in this package. But nevertheless it provides some new options, e.g. an improved color and fontsize management and more recipe fields. Usage ---------------------------------- The recipes are inserted in a environment. There is the possibility to enter ingredients, preparation (steps), (two) pictures, an introduction, suggestions and a hint. Also there is an option to insert the recipetime, bakingtime, portions, calory content and source of the recipe (internet, friends, neighbours etc.). A lot of hooks allows the user to insert content at different locations in the recipe.
