Install

First create your site: hugo new site <site_name>

Then move into the directory: cd <site_name>

You can install using hugo's recommended theme install method while in your hugo site directory:

git init

git submodule add https://github.com/deranjer/hugo-cookbook.git themes/cookbook

OR

You can download the latest release, or the the current master as a zip, then extract the zip file into the themes directory.

Copy Site Config

Then you can copy the config.toml from exampleSite to the root of your hugo directory, and modify that for your instance.

Setup Default Template

Since hugo-cookbook is a single purpose theme, you need to override your default archetype so that all content created is of recipe type.

To override the default template, copy the default.md from themes\archetypes\default.md to archetypes and overwrite the current default.md in that directory.

This will ensure that any new content you create will be of type recipe.

First Recipe

Simply run hugo new recipe_name.md to create your new recipe in the content folder. Modify the markdown file as required for your new recipe.

hugo serve to view the site.
