# Overview

Varbase 11.0.x documentation for the recipe-based Drupal CMS distribution.

[Varbase](https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase) is a product of [Vardot](https://www.vardot.com/), the enterprise Drupal solutions provider.

Varbase 11.0.x represents a major architectural shift from Drupal modules to **Drupal Recipes**, aligning with the Drupal CMS 2.0 initiative. Instead of monolithic installation profiles, Varbase now uses composable recipes that can be applied individually or combined through the **Varbase Starter** recipe.

This documentation covers:

* **Varbase Recipes** - The core and optional recipes that make up the Varbase distribution
* **Drupal CMS Recipes** - The foundational Drupal CMS 2.0 recipes that Varbase builds upon
* **Configuration Guides** - How to configure and customize your Varbase site
* **Content Designer Guides** - How to manage content, media, and users
