# Create & publish recipes

Recipes are intentionally structured very similarly to regular products. This means that the creation and publication requires almost the same steps.

## Create recipe <a href="#create-recipe" id="create-recipe"></a>

You can create recipes in the admin under `Catalogues > Recipes` by clicking on the button `Add recipe`. It is important that you give the recipe a name, of course, because it is a mandatory field. Afterwards you can click on the button `Save` to save the recipe.

Now you can write your content for the recipe via the tab `Ingredients` & `Preparations`.

## Publish recipe <a href="#publish-recipe" id="publish-recipe"></a>

Creating a recipe is not enough to display it in the storefront. Apart from the one-time setup the following points must be in place:

* The recipe must be active.
* The recipe must have a main category OR a category.
* The recipe must be associated with a sales channel.

If everything is correct so far, the recipes should appear in the storefront. Have fun writing them!
