'xcookybooky' is a package for entering recipes and layout them in a nice way. This package is based on the 'cookybooky' package by Jürgen Gilg. Unfortunately it uses some special packages and fonts. Another handycap is missing possibility to create a PDF 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 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.). Package contents ---------------------------------- The current distribution is zipped up as 'xcookybooky.zip' and includes the following files 'xcookybooky.ins', 'xcookybooky.dtx', 'xcookybooky.pdf', 'README'. Also there is a folder including an example, which helps you (hopefully) to understand the usage of this package.
