Food Dish (/food/dish)

Type Definition

A recipe is a method of preparing a dish. Dishes may have multiple recipes. For instance, there may be many different recipes for chocolate chip cookies.

Things that are a Recipe

• Instructions for any food dish, whether the instructions require heat or not
• Instructions for mixed drinks, whether they contain alcohol or not

Things that are not a Recipe

• Algorithms (e.g. how to sort data)
• Instructions for creating non-food items (e.g. building a table)
• General how-tos (e.g. how to tie a tie or how to change a flat tire)

Notes on Usage

• Put the steps of the recipe in the instructions property.
• For ingredients which are measured in units, eg. 6 apples, just leave "unit" blank.
• For ingredients which commonly come in cans/jars/packets, specify the actual weight or volume rather than "1 packet", as packet sizes may vary.
• The equipment field should only be used for special-purpose equipment which is not common to most recipes. For instance, you would list "blender" but not "knife".
