A recipe is a tiddler tagged `Recipe`, usually plus a category tag like `Breakfast` or `Main`.  Categories are just tags — add a new one by typing it into the tag box in edit mode.  If you want a category to appear in the table of contents, open the tag tiddler itself and tag //it// with `TableOfContents`.

The recipe body follows three section headings:

```
!! About
The story, context, or notes.

!! Ingredients
* 1 cup [[flour]]
* 2 cloves [[garlic]], minced

!! Steps
# First step.
# Second step.
```

Tidbits looks for these headings to lay things out.  A recipe that ignores the convention still renders — it just loses the split layout and step navigation.
