# Getting started with OS recommended recipes

When you order data using OS Select+Build, you create a recipe to define the data you need. Selecting the right data from OS NGD themes can be complex, so we are developing a set of recommended recipe guides to help you get started with common use cases, focussing on areas where many customers have similar requirements. These guides are intended as a starting point and you can adapt the suggested recipes at the recipe creation or editing stage so that they fully meet your needs.

## Guides for creating OS recommended recipes

## Coming next

We expect to add further recommended recipe guides over time, including:
