 * All of my single recipes are using the default WP single.php template of my theme.
   Is there a way to have Cooked use a custom single template?

 * Yes, you would have to create one. I would suggest using a child theme if possible.
   Copy the single.php file from your parent theme and then place it into the child
   theme. Rename it: “single-cp_recipe.php” and then Cooked should use that file
   instead of the “single.php” one:

 * Okay… I had tried doing such but as single-recipes.php which didn’t work.

 * [@aum001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aum001/): See my comment above,
   I mentioned naming it “single-cp_recipe.php”, which should work. 😉
