Template Details

hugo-cuisine-book is a Hugo theme published by ntk148v, positioned as a simple recipe/cooking blog template. The README describes it as "A simple Hugo theme" and states that it was inspired by Recipe-Book. The theme requires the Hugo extended version, and the README notes that the version must be at least 0.128.0.

There are two installation methods: clone it as a git submodule into themes/cuisine-book, or use it as a Hugo module by importing github.com/ntk148v/hugo-cuisine-book in the [module] section of config.toml. Site configuration is centralized in config.toml, where you can set baseURL, title, theme, and under params: author, description, logo, comment, repo, editpath, newpath; enableGitInfo is an optional switch.

For customization, the README lists four files that can be overridden: static/favicon.png to replace the default icon, assets/_custom.scss to override or customize SCSS styles, assets/_fonts.scss to replace the default fonts, and layouts/partials/comments.html to override the comment template. The comment template includes Disqus by default and can be controlled via params.comment or the same-named parameter in a page's frontmatter. The repository includes desktop and mobile homepage screenshots, and the demo site is ntk148v.github.io/mammam.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
