*Sometimes*.
"How to peel garlic in 5 seconds" is a snippet, but other techniques can be
rather large articles by themselves. Don't believe me? Buy "Jacques Pepin's
Complete Techniques". It features over 1000 food preparation and cooking
techniques :)

It's redundant to include proper technique in every recipe.
Take a recipe for chicken sweet corn soup, for example. We could put in a
recipe for chicken stock in every chicken soup recipe, but it's much easier
to simply include a link that says "Related article: how to make excellent
chicken stock at home".
I can write an 800 word article on the art of stir-frying. This would
explain the importance of temperature, food size, timing, differences
between stir-frying meat and vegetables, etc. That wouldn't fit into a
stir-fry recipe.
Get what I'm saying?
But like Matt said, let the whole thing get done first :)
Matt, how exactly is the CMS for this different from the w.e.o CMS?
