 * Hello there, and sorry for any inconvenience, I am currently working on 1.15.0
   right now with some new features but I am not aware of any critical issues that
   could be causing a crash.
 * Are there any errors shown in the interface or PHP error logs?

 * As soon as I activate the Cooked plugin, the critical error is caused. I do not
   know how to view PHP error logs, so i can not answer that question. When do you
   expect to have 1.15.0 published? Can you help me get the existing versin to work?

 * For clarity:
   The issue was that in a recipe there was a [cooked-recipe id=”XXXX”]
   shortcode in the “Recipe Template” field which was causing some issues.
 * I have already created a bug report about this and will be fixed in the next
