The Basil theme

Basil borrows its rhythm from a well-kept recipe journal: a quiet site masthead, fine rules, and three recipes immediately above the fold without an introductory text block competing with the food.

Tall photographs sit above soft herb-green captions, giving every recipe a clear image, title, and short introduction. The composition feels established and editorial while remaining relaxed enough for everyday cooking.

Each column grid lives inside a normal Crumb section. Creators still edit, reorder, or remove sections as usual; Basil simply gives the content inside those sections a more structured arrangement.

What defines it

Column-led recipes

Three balanced recipe columns combine tall photography with calm caption panels on larger screens.

Herbarium palette

Warm white pages and a muted basil-green band keep the page fresh without competing with food.

Section-safe structure

Columns are composed within sections, so the existing editor, ordering, and empty states keep working unchanged.

Who it suits

• Creators with bright, vertical food photography
• Recipe collections that benefit from short introductions
• Publications wanting a classic food-journal feel without looking formal
