  6. CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD RECIPE A good recipe has two parts • A list of ingredients with the amounts required • The directions for mixing the ingredients It also includes the following things • Ingredients listed in the order of their use • Exact measurements (amounts) of each listed ingredient • Simple, step-by-step directions (steps listed in sequence) • Cooking time • Cooking temperature • Size of correct cooking equipment to use • Number and size of servings the recipe makes • That the recipe be a tested one

  7. Reading Ingredients • The way ingredients are listed matters! • What’s the difference between: • ½ cup flour, sifted • ½ cup sifted flour • Know your terms! • Chopped, Minced, Diced, Sliced, Sifted, etc.

  8. Adjusting Recipes • When changing the yield of a recipe, use the measuring equivalents to figure the adjusted amounts of each ingredient before you begin cooking. Write the adjusted amounts on your recipe so you will remember them as you work. • To adjust recipes you want to use the following formula: • Want/yield = multiplying factor • Take the multiplying factor and multiply it by each ingredient amount.

  9. Recipe Adjusting Example Lasagna from slide 3 It yields 6 and you need it to feed 18 18/6= 3 (multiplying factor) • Take 3 and multiply by each ingredient • 1 jar of Prego (3)=3 jars of Prego • 6 lasagna noodles (3) = 18 lasagna noodles • 2 cups shredded mozzarella (3) = 6 cups of mozzarella • ¼ cup of grated Parmesan (3) = ¾ cup of grated Parmesan

  10. Recipe Writing Activity • Write down your favorite recipe, or create your very own. Make sure you add ALL parts of a well written recipe. • After, have a partner read over your recipe and see: • What were you missing? • Would they be able to follow this recipe? • Did you include all equipment&measurements needed?
