Here is the install help. It doesn't make sense to me. First, all the items are subheadings under the term "optional: create taxonomy vocabulary..." So it would seem to be that all the items should be pertaining to taxonomy, but it bounces around unless there is some option under "content types" that refers to taxonomy. Then it jumps to "create at least one term" which seems to refer to taxonomy again and then jumps yet again to talking about the menu.
I know how to create taxonomy terms from the taxonomy module, but how are they linked to recipe? Or is the important step missing that I have to manually add a the created taxonomy term field to the recipe database from the "manage fields" screen? Also, can you give me examples of taxonomy terms and how this is used?
Here is the install file as it reads:
OPTIONAL: Create a taxonomy vocabulary and name it.
For example: 'Recipe Tags'.
Under Content Types check 'Recipe', and under Settings check desired
options and Save.
Be sure to create at least one Term.
In Menus, enable a link to Recipes so users may access the module.
-------------------
Should it instead read like this:
OPTIONAL TASKS:
Create a taxonomy vocabulary and name it using admin/structure/taxonomy.
For example: 'Recipe Tags'. Examples would be "healthy, vegetarian, etc, Be
sure to create at least one term!
Under Content Types (/admin/structure/types) click on the 'Recipe' type, and
under Settings check desired options and Save.
In Menus (/admin/structure/menu), enable a link to Recipes so users may
access the module.

dcam commentedYes, a step is missing from those instructions. Once you've created a vocabulary for your recipes you'll have to add a term reference field to the recipe content type.
At admin/structure/types/manage/page/fields add a new field. Give it whatever label you want it to have. Select "Term reference" in the field column. Select whatever kind of form element you want to use in the recipe node edit form in the widget column. Then save the field form.
You'll be taken to the field settings form where you need to select your recipe terms vocabulary.
On the next page finalize the field settings. Be certain to set the "Number of values" to the amount of terms you want to allow recipes to be tagged with.
That will add the term reference field for your recipe terms to the node type. Edit your recipe nodes and start tagging.
Examples of recipe terms from a project I'm working on...
Audiences: Kosher, Vegetarian, Young children, Teens, Older adults
Menu items: Appetizers, Soups/Stews, Salads, Main dishes, Desserts
Themes: Eat more fruits and vegetables, Eat more whole grains, Eat less saturated fat, trans-fats, and cholesterol
Uses:
For my project, I created a custom search form for the recipes with checkboxes for all the terms in the recipe vocabulary. Users can select one or more terms to search by. I use Views to display the results, with comma-separated term ID %'s as the view argument.

flightrisk commentedCare to share the export of your view? ;)
Comment #3
dcam commentedSure thing. It's attached. Really, it's just a clone of the default taxonomy view with a couple of filters for custom module fields added. I'm not sure there's much you can learn from it that you couldn't find out from studying the original.

flightrisk commentedThanks. I'll look at your compared to the default Taxonomy view! Much appreciated.
