Cookbook provides a Python interface to your recipes so you can throw out all those index cards. The entry script: ./bin/cook.py fires up the server, binding it to a local interface/port. It also translates cookbook formats, e.g. from my mom's rough text file to the more robust directory of YAML files that Cookbook uses internally. The recipes themselves will generally be stored in per-recipe YAML files under 'recipe'. Send any bug reports to W. Trevor King .
