For texts in general
Your recipe will be read by a lot of people, so you need to be careful about what you write. Here are a few basic rules:- Take care with your spelling, it's very important.
- Always capitalize the beginning of every sentence, and the same goes for your title.
- Be careful with punctuation: always put a space after a comma and a period.
Recipe title
As the name implies, this is the title of the recipe, but also how it will appear in the various recipe lists. Try to use something well illustrated and not too long (5 or 6 words maximum).Final photo
With each recipe you can upload a photo to accompany and present it. This is not (yet) compulsory, but highly recommended. Photos must be in JPG or PNG format, no larger than 200 kilobytes, and of a reasonable size.I recommend a size of around 350x233 pixels, which is the size of most of the recipe photos on the site, like this one for example:
Note that to replace an image, simply upload another one in place of the previous one.
Category and sub-category
You can classify your recipes in a main category and a sub-category, which you can choose from a drop-down menu. This should make it easier to sort or find them later on.Public or private
If a recipe is private, only you can see it. If it's public, it appears in the list of recipes posted by other users. Tip: While you're writing your recipe, leave it "private", and once it's finished, switch it to "public".Presentation
Introduce the recipe in a few words or phrases to indicate what it's about, what it's for, and so on.Ingredients
Ingredients used in the recipe, in the form of a list with one ingredient per line beginning with a "-", e.g. :- 150g sugar
- 3 eggs
Recipe flow
This is the most important part of the recipe, where you need to give as much information as possible about the steps involved. Ideally, you should make a list as you would for the ingredients, for example:1) Beat the 3 egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt.
2) Melt butter over low heat
Additional information
Add any additional information about the recipe, tips, tricks, etc. here. Example:"Use the remaining egg yolks to make small vanilla creams that you can serve the next day".
