When my grandma wrote recipes, it was more of a story, telling you what to do and the ingredients were contained in the direction­ there was no separate listing of them. Grandma's recipes also had interesting quantities, like a teacup of sugar, a head of cauliflower (I think her heads back then and our heads now are quite a bit different ­ some kind of measurement in cups would have been more helpful). And sometimes steps are skipped or assumed in her recipes­ probably because people cooked more and grasped the basic techniques more, therefore it wasn't necessary to spell it all out on paper. These days we kind of expect a recipe to have a title, telling us what it is, an approximate number of servings it makes (I know this is where Gerry and I fall down as we often forget to measure out the servings before our families gobble up the finished product), a listing of ingredients and a step-by-step list of directions to make the item. A couple of other things you may not have noticed, but usually the ingredients in the list are written in the order they are used in the method. Also, in the list of ingredients, there are often instructions that need to be completed before the body of the recipe begins. So for example, the ingredient list may say "one clove garlic, 23 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, November 24, 2011 GENERATOR SET ASSEMBLER / SERVICE MAN Required immediately to assemble and test generators, alternators and control panels; shop and field service work.

There are subtle ways of writing the recipe that are not so subtle if you get them wrong when you are cooking. For example, "one cup chopped mushrooms" is very different from "one cup mushrooms, chopped". There is probably three or four times as much mushroom in the first example­ so make sure you pay attention to the wording! The word recipe actually comes from the Latin word, meaning "take" because when recipes were first recorded, they often started with "Take one pound of flour" or "Take one cup of oats." Interesting! It is assumed that written recipes have existed as long as literacy. They began as a method of controlling food supplies. The oldest surviving recipes are thought to be those impressed on three clay tablets that are held somewhere in Iraq. The best preserved tablet apparently fits 25 recipes into 75 lines! Then again, if I was having to inscribe my recipes in stone, rather than type them on a computer, I might be a bit more choosy on the length as well! Have fun, and keep cooking!
