HOW TO WRITE A RECIPE
Step 1: Writing
- Fill out the recipe template completely
- Do this first, even if you plan on testing your recipe afterwards.
- Try to use easily-accessible ingredients
Step 2: Testing
- Prepare and measure all ingredients before cooking. Be sure to use the appropriate measuring tools (measuring cups, measuring spoons, food scale)
- Use a stopwatch to monitor how long it takes for you to prepare your ingredients, and again to see how long to cook your dish. Most phones have an app for this.
- Take photos along the way on your phone. No need to edit them, they’re for internal use only. This will help our team when we make your dish for its photo or video shoot.
- Make notes of any changes and update your recipe document
- Take a photo of the final dish in good lighting, by a window during the daytime is best.
Step 3: Submit via the submission form
- Completed recipe template
- Photos of key recipe steps and the final dish (mobile pics are fine)
