What makes a good recipe?

Question

I need to know for a homework assignment and have looked all over google and a few other sites but found nothing!!! My teacher wanted it off of the internet.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Criteria for Recipe Development
Use low-cost, readily available ingredients;
Use basic equipment and appliances;
Be easy to read and follow;
Be successfully tested by a minimum of three people;
Are nutritious and tasty;
Have a limited number of ingredients; and
Are flexible so that the same basic recipe can be used with fresh, frozen, or canned food varieties.
In addition to the criteria previously mentioned, recipes should follow basic recipe standardization guidelines, including specification of amounts, ingredients, and pan sizes to ensure a consistent product (American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, 2001). This is especially important for audiences with limited resources who will find it harder to absorb the costs of a recipe that is not edible.

I believe this will be all the help you need.

Answer 2

To me, a good recipe is one that:

* Has been tested and standardized, to make sure it works over and over again
* Does not call for obscure ingredients when a common one will do
* Has clear instructions, written in the order of the steps being done.
*Has clear quantities for ingredietns, written in the odrer of use; no quantities listed "to taste" except maybe salt and pepper
* Any tips for success, choosing a fresh ingredient, or making the prodcut come out better are always welcome.
