FAQs

What is the most important thing to remember when following a recipe? ›

Read the recipe.

Take a good look at the recipe. Don't just skim it; read it through from start to finish. As you read, visualize doing the steps, which will help when you're prepping and prevent that dreaded yikes-I'm-missing-an-ingredient moment.

Establishing a standard for each of your recipes ensures that both quality and consistency are maintained. Each of your bartenders needs to follow the same recipe when mixing drinks and co*cktails, otherwise you have no control of your liquor and mix costs.

Cooking is all about having fun and experimenting and there's plenty of inspiration online. It can be fun flicking through Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok or Instagram to find your next recipe, and there are plenty of innovative chefs to follow!

Get Inspired on Social Media

Social media is an obvious place to look for recipe inspiration — everyone and their grandma is posting what they ate on Instagram or Facebook. Most food blogs are also promoting themselves on social media, so it's an obvious place to start.

1: READ THE RECIPE COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING. The first step in following a recipe is to be sure to read through the ingredients needed as well as the instructions for what you will be doing before you ever begin mixing your batters or doughs. (This is one of the first steps in Mise En Place.)

Ingredient List - The ingredient list is one of the most critical parts of a recipe. The ingredients should be listed in chronological order, with the ingredient used first at the very top of the list (Palmer, 2020).

Why should you follow a recipe? ›

Recipe Keeper is the easy to use, all-in-one recipe organizer, shopping list and meal planner available across all of your devices. Enter your recipes with as much or as little information as you like. Copy and paste recipes from your existing documents or apps. Categorize your recipes by course and category.

One of the most common ways of keeping recipes organized is with recipe binders. Rather than keeping recipe books to flick through for recipe referencing, chefs will have the recipes they need collated in binders. This means that they can quickly and easily find necessary items without other recipes getting in the way.

Try Something New

To start your cooking routine, try making a dish you like. Instead of ordering your next meal from a local restaurant, try making it at home. Research recipes online that contain your favorite ingredients. You could also try putting dishes together with whatever you have in the pantry.
