The Recipe as an Act of Sharing

298.1 Lesson 01 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

Before a single measurement is written, a recipe begins as an impulse to share. The book that anchors this course opens on exactly that idea: when it comes to making delicious dishes, there are often stories behind them — stories handed down over generations and combined with our heartfelt experiences into an act of creation that transforms simple ingredients into something sensual. Putting those “delicious tidbits into black and white,” the author writes, is a creative process, a work of art we today call a recipe. In this opening lesson we deliberately set technique aside and ask the question that should precede every recipe you ever publish: why write it down at all?
