Thank you a hundred times for your friendly and helpful response to message that was so brief that I admittedly consider it unreasonable demand.
I am a noob to Emacs and to Org-mode, and I do not know how to execute the emacs-lisp yet, but I have yanked the code into ~/.emacs. Now, the real key to my question was the part about pressing M-x. That I was not able to figure out. From the code I assumed that it was looking for a Recipe section, but all the other templates I came across worked with the C-c capture method. Thanks to you, I was able to introduce an Org file to my recipe project and I am happy to have another use case for Org. Cheers! Sven.
