| Online recipe sites are reshaping the
way we cook. Not only can they provide us within an unlimited number of recipes
(some sites list as many as 50,000), they can also augment these with multiple
images and even videos showing the preparation of the meals. A recipe is
bascially a set of instructions that show you how to make or prepare something,
usually a culinary dish. Modern food recipes typically consist of several
components: * Equipment needed to prepare the dish *
How long it usually takes to prepare the dish * The required ingredients &
quantity * The number of serves that you get from those ingredients *
A list of detailed preparation procedures * Sometimes an estimate of the number
of calories or joules per serve. * Nutritional information: vitamin content,
fat content, etc of healthy recipes In historic times, part of the
instructions may have been given orally, with written notes only containing the
ingredients. Although you can find as many as a million different recipes online,
most are variations on a traditional dish (like most Italian recipes), often a
dish that is over a century old. The best recipes may include various facts,
including the history of the dish, nutritional & dietary information, anecdotes
or food philosophy related to the recipe.
