# Recipes

Recipes enable simple and reusable integrations between cloud, file-based and on-premise data sources. Each Recipe consists of connectors and statements. Recipes are triggered by REST API events or on time-based schedules.

Recipes are:

* Shared on the Lingk [Public Recipe Library](https://lingk.io/recipes).
* Built in the Recipe Editor and Designer for custom scenarios.
* Generated by the Visual SQL Wizard for quick Salesforce data loading.
* Executed by Apache Spark.

Full documentation on building recipes is available via the Lingk [knowledge base](http://help.lingk.io/). Learn the basics with the article entitled "[Writing a Recipe](https://help.lingk.io/en/articles/21)".
