Drupal CMS Recipes
Overview
Varbase 11.0.x builds on top of Drupal CMS 2.0 recipes. These recipes provide foundational features, such as administration UI, SEO, media handling, search, and accessibility, that Varbase extends with its own specialized recipes.
The varbase_starter recipe includes these Drupal CMS recipes as dependencies, ensuring that every Varbase installation benefits from the robust baseline functionality provided by the Drupal CMS project.

Relationship to Varbase
Varbase does not replace these Drupal CMS recipes. Instead, it depends on them and layers additional configuration, permissions, and features on top. This means Varbase sites benefit from upstream improvements to Drupal CMS recipes while maintaining Varbase-specific enhancements.
