What is a Recipe?
A recipe is a set of
instruction used for preparing and producing a certain food, dish, or drink.
The purpose of a recipe is to have a precise record of the
ingredients used, the amounts needed, and the way they are combined.
Read your recipe carefully
before starting: Be sure you have all the ingredients called for and
that you understand the recipe clearly. This is the reason most recipe fail. If
the recipe says “room temperature,” there is usually a reason.
