==Origin==
[[Latin]], take, imperative of ''recipere'' to take, [[receive]]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1584]
==Definitions==
*1: [[prescription]]
*2: a set of instructions for making something from various ingredients
*3: a [[formula]] or [[procedure]] for doing or [[attaining]] something <a recipe for success>
==Description==
A '''recipe''' is a set of instructions that [[describes]] how to [[prepare]] or make something, especially a culinary dish.

Modern culinary recipes normally consist of several components

*The name (and often the locale or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provenance provenance]) of the dish
*How much time it will take to [[prepare]] the dish
*The required ingredients along with their [[quantities]] or [[proportions]]
*Necessary equipment and environment needed to prepare the dish
*An ordered list of [[preparation]] [[steps]]
*The number of servings that the recipe will provide (the "yield")
*The [[texture]] and flavor
*A photograph of the finished dish

Some recipes will note how long the dish will keep and its suitability for freezing. Nutritional [[information]], such as calories per serving and grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates per serving, may also be given.

Earlier recipes often included much less [[information]], serving more as a reminder of ingredients and [[proportions]] for someone who already knew how to prepare the dish.

Recipe [[writers]] sometimes also list variations of a [[traditional]] dish, to give different tastes of the same recipes.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recipe]
