Kitchen Overview

The recipes/kitchen folder contains all the code necessary to run a Substrate node. Let us call it the Kitchen Node. There are three folders inside:

• node - The Kitchen Node's client; the non-runtime parts of the node.
• runtimes - Complete runtimes that can be used with the Kitchen Node.
• pallets - Pallets that make up the runtimes. A pallet gives the runtime a particular piece of functionality. Currently, most of the recipe code is stored under this folder.
