Apply a Recipe for Drupal 10, 11

Recipes transform your Drupal site by adding features and configuration. After downloading (or authoring) a recipe it needs to be applied to your Drupal project. This is analogous to following the step-by-step instructions in a recipe to make a dish. Only, we're not performing the steps on our own, but instead we're using Drupal's tools to apply the recipe. Applying the recipe adds its features to your Drupal project. This requires establishing safe workflows to apply recipes, verify their effects, and roll back changes if needed.

In this tutorial, we will:

  • Apply a recipe in a non-production environment using a feature branch workflow.
  • Review configuration changes using Git and verify functionality in the UI.
  • Understand how to roll back recipe changes if needed.
  • Learn safe workflows for both developers and non-developers.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to safely apply recipes to your projects, review their impact, and decide whether to keep or roll back the changes.
