In some cases two headings exist: one for the food product itself, for example, Jelly (for works on making jellies) and another for that product as an ingredient in cooking, for example, Cookery (Jelly) (for works on using jelly as an ingredient in other foods).

For collections of recipes for special types of diets, such as those free from certain substances or higher or lower in certain substances, assign a heading for the diet with subdivision –Recipes, for example, Milk-free diet–Recipes; High-potassium diet–Recipes.
