Contents/ Index/ List of contents / Guide to the site/

Just like the front page of a book, I have created this contents page for you people to understand my site better. Since I have recipes under various heads, it will be cumbersome for a new user to look up everything. Hence this attempt. Hope this page will serve as a guide to glide through my site 🙂 .

Some pages will be found under two heads. Like you will find my ‘Chicken 65 ‘ recipe under both ‘Cooking recipe index’ as well as ‘air fryer recipes’. This is to help people who are looking under those specific heads. Orange-colored names will be links that will take you to the respective page.

There is a main page for every group of recipes. And on that main page, you will find more details. Like, on the main page for starters you will find details of starters around the world, followed by recipes. Am yet to create a main page for Main Courses and Snacks, as I am still collecting details 🙂 .

The contents page is the elaborate version of the main menu. You can find thumbnail images of all the recipes, on the respective main pages.

Also for menu items with a drop-down arrow, the first click will open up the sub-menu while the second click on the menu item, will take you to the main page.
