# Recipes {#recipes}

- [`BaseRecipe`](/docs/thunder/0.2.6/api-reference/generated/thunder.recipes.BaseRecipe.md) — Compilation recipe with Thunder defaults. The recipe wires a set of executors, transforms
and debug options, while providing a single switch to pick the
fusion backend (“nvfuser” or “torch.compile”). 
- [`HFTransformers`](/docs/thunder/0.2.6/api-reference/generated/thunder.recipes.HFTransformers.md) — Recipe tuned for Hugging Face transformers models.
