This very simple app is not working. My list is not showing up. Why? I must be missing something important about how Meteor works.

recipes.html

<body>
    <h3>Recipes</h3>
    {{> recipes}}
</body>

<template name="recipes">
    <ul>
        {{#each recipes}}
            <li>{{name}}</li>
        {{/each}}
    </ul>
</template>

recipes.coffee

Recipes = new Meteor.Collection("recipes")

if Meteor.is_client
    Meteor.startup ->
        Meteor.autosubscribe(->
            Meteor.subscribe('recipes')
        )

        # THIS IS NOT WORKING
        Template.recipes.recipes ->
            return Recipes.find()

if Meteor.is_server
    Meteor.startup ->
        if Recipes.find().count() == 0
            data = [
               name: "Chocolate Chip Cookies"
            ,
               name: "Spring Rolls"
           ]

        for item in data
            Recipes.insert(item)

    Meteor.publish('recipes', ->
        return Recipes.find()
    )

error

Uncaught TypeError: Object function (data) {
      var getHtml = function() {
        return raw_func(data, {
          helpers: partial,
          partials: Meteor._partials
        });
      };

      var react_data = { events: (name ? Template[name].events : {}),
                         event_data: data,
                         template_name: name };

      return Meteor.ui.chunk(getHtml, react_data);
    } has no method 'recipes'

I’ve tried this with autopublish and without. What am I not understanding here?

Edit:

I posted the wrong code before, as Jasd pointed out. The code as it is now is the code in question.

    Shouldn’t it be:

    Template.recipes.recipes = ->
    return Recipes.find()

    because 1.) you assign the function to Template.recipes.recipes and 2.) you iterate through list recipes of template recipes. You don’t need to return another object with key recipes I guess.
