Not out of the box, but with some customisation and configuration, yes, it's possible.

You could override the CreateSpaceDialog class and the configuration for the 'createSpace' dialog. In the finishImpl() method you could detect whether you are in the "Recipes Repository" space and if you are use your custom content otherwise use the default type.

This wiki page may help too: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Customising_The_Create_Content_Wizard as it shows how to customise an existing wizard (a dialog has the same concepts).

Hi, all,

I will not do this change due to I don't want to change the source, all my changes will be extensions and configuration. In this way, when I update the Alfresco version I will not loose my changes.

Thank you for your help.
