As some of you are aware, I like to write recipes, but I often feel a little lost when I sit down to write the instructions. I know I can do better, so I set out looking for guidelines on recipe writing. Here is a concise article that has a few good tips that have helped me:
Order. List all ingredients in order of use.
Measurements. Use measurements that will help cooks shop. Say “1 medium onion, chopped,” for example, and not “1 cup chopped onion.”
Advance preparation. Alert cooks to anything that must be done ahead. If onions must be chopped, butter softened, or chicken cut into pieces, tell cooks in the ingredients list instead of at the point where that particular ingredient will be used.
