Display Category Name

Hi,

At the top of category pages I want to display the name of the category in H1. So in the archive.php file I have placed.

<?php elseif ( is_category() )  : ?>
<h1><?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo "{$category[0]->cat_name} Recipes";
?></h1>

I am using the above code but it is not working correctly, it shows a category name but the wrong ones most of the time.

Does anyone know what could be up?

Thanks
