# Recipes

Wine and good food go well together. The recipes tool allows you to offer a recipes page to your visitors to encourage the sales of your wines and products. The Recipes tool can be found under **Content Editor > Components > Recipes**. Below are the steps to set up Recipes.

 If you do not have the recipes tool and would like to use it, please contact your designer or support@winedirect.com. Billable design work will be required to style the feature if you do not have a designer to set up the feature for you.
