Recipe

A recipe is a guide used by cooks, chefs, bakers and at-home cooks in order to recreate a food dish. The earliest recipe dates back to the ancient times, and also hieroglyphics that depict Egyptian's making food. Today, recipes can be found online, in cook books, cooking shows, and several other venues in which cooking is the primary focus.

About Recipe

How do you make pizza? What ingredients do I need to bake lasagna? If you're looking for the answers, you might try referencing a recipe, which shows the ingredients and the appropriate steps used to replicate a specific dish.

A recipe is written by the original creator of a certain dish and provides a step by step overview of how that person reached the end result. Some people refer to it as a play-by-play of the cooking world.

Here's a sample recipe:
