How to use Url.Action to pass multiple Parameters to Route

Question

I'm just learning MVC and am trying to create a SEO page title, therefore I'm sending an ID for the controller but also the page slug for the SEO.

I want to see Recipe/Details/18/foobar

but the below code returns

Results/Name/18?name=foobar

I presume its an issue with my custom Route but from all mt Research I think I'm doing it correctly. Any assistance is appreciated.

_PartialView

<a href="@Url.Action("Details", "Recipe", new {id = Recipe.ID, name = Recipe.Slug}, null)">

RouteConfig

        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Recipe",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{name}",
            defaults: new {
                            controller = "Recipe",
                            action = "Details",
                            id = UrlParameter.Optional,
                            name = UrlParameter.Optional
                            }
        );

Controller

public ActionResult Details(int id)

You should add your custom routes before the default one. They are processed in order, so in your case the mvc uses the default route.

My only issue is now my Default route no longer fires when I load my project without specifying Home/Index in the url ?
