This pretty much sums up our journey into the world of recipes. In this chapter, we learned about resources, the two-phase model used by chef-client, and the use of guard attributes. We also saw lots of resources and eventually we learned about using them in recipes. We also learned about DSL methods and run lists. With knowledge about the best practices you should follow, you should now be able to write a recipe with all the different resources and attributes.

In the next chapter, we'll look at cookbooks and LWRPS in more detail.
