Final task

Create an original recipe that includes all the essential elements: ingredients, cooking utensils, equipment, and clear, step-by-step directions. Imagine you’re writing for an audience who may have some basic cooking knowledge but has never prepared this dish before. Your recipe should be easy to follow, with accurate measurements and descriptions that bring your dish to life.

Guidelines:

1. Choose a dish: Pick a dish you’re passionate about—something you might make in a professional kitchen. Think about your audience and what kind of instructions they would need.

2. List ingredients and measurements: Include all ingredients with accurate measurements (e.g., grams, teaspoons, cups). Consider what you would need to prepare the dish exactly.

3. Identify necessary cooking utensils and equipment: List the tools and equipment required (e.g., skillet, baking sheet, chef’s knife) and explain why each is needed.

4. Write clear, step-by-step directions: Provide step-by-step instructions that include preparation, cooking times, and any special techniques (e.g., chopping, sautéing, whisking). Use precise language so the reader knows exactly what to do.

5. Add tips and serving Suggestions (Optional): You may include a brief note on how to enhance the dish, garnish it, or pair it with another food or beverage.
