A pair of simple recipes.

A recipe is a list of instructions that shows how to prepare or make something such as a food dish.

Modern-day recipes are usually made up of several parts:

• The name of the food being made
• How much time it will take to make the food
• The ingredients needed along with how much of it will be needed
• The number of people that the recipe will be able to feed

Recipes from earlier times often included much less information: Older recipes usually just reminded a person of the ingredients needed.
