Configuration
site.toml keys juicercook reads, recipe frontmatter, the [juicercook] palette table, and the categories strip.
juicercook reads its configuration from three places:
- A small set of top-level site keys (the same ones every juicer theme uses).
- A namespaced
[juicercook]table for palette overrides and the home-page category strip. - Per-recipe frontmatter — structured fields that drive both the rendered card and the Recipe JSON-LD.
