 # gulp-recipes
 
 ## Notes:
-__Updates as of 20 March 2016__: I have originally created this so that the Gulp community would be able help each other to find solutions to common use-cases. I have since moved away from Gulp to Webpack for most of my work, and have not been actively participating in Gulp's latest activities _(I'm not knocking on Gulp, it is still a useful tool. Webpack just works well for my case)._

 Not your typical collection of [gulp](http://gulpjs.com) recipes for your streaming build.
 
-Rather than having a big 'ol ```gulpfile.js``` with a ton of ```gulp.task()```,
-* each recipe is a standalone folder,
-* with its own ```gulpfile.js``` and minimal set of ```gulp.task()```,
-* healthy pinch of comments,
-* comes along with real examples that you can ```gulp``` to see it in action,
-* a big serving of ```README.md``` included!

 Simply ```cd``` to a recipe folder, ```gulp``` and slurp away.
 
 ## Motivations
 
-* Enough with the plugins wrapping over an existing library, created just for convenient's sake.

 * Vanilla node modules over wrappers.
-* If an existing library can be vinyled, tapped, plumbered, transformed from/to buffers and/or streams, let there be a recipe for it.
-* A lot of recipe snippets laying around the web; most are working off the bat. Some needs a little bit more pizzazz. And pizzas.
