* List of ingredients, in order of use. Make sure to use exact units of measurement for each ingredient, keeping them consistent (cups vs. oz.). * If the recipe has different parts, such as a sauce + salad or pie filling + crust, break into each part when listing the ingredients. * Step-by-step instructions for preparation. It’s helpful to break these down into several steps so that you’re not just looking at one big paragraph. * Cooking temperatures and times. * Any important supplies used (such as large saucepan, soup ladle, blender, etc.). These usually don’t need their own list and can be included as they are needed in the preparation steps. * How to plate, garnish, and serve the dish. * How to store any leftovers. * Photos of ingredients, preparation steps, and finished dish.
