Recipe is a set of instruction used for preparing and producing a dish or a drink. The purpose of a recipe is to provide you with a precise list of the ingredients used, the amounts needed, and the correct method of combining them.
Most recipes will be laid out the same way, but, the amount of detail included and the sequential formula followed, will vary, depending on who has created the recipe.
When preparing a recipe for the first time, it is recommended that you follow the recipe exactly so you have an initial template of how the developer intended it to look and taste. Then you can experiment from there.
