Get ready to cook: miraz.me

@Miraz I wish websites wrote out recipes like you do! I waste a lot of time scrolling back and forth between quantities and instructions.

@Cheri I did at first too! Then I realized I could write them in on my copy. Thanks for the feedback. I wasn’t too sure anyone was actually reading…

@Miraz It’s a great idea. I tend to re-use recipes so it’s definitely worth the time to tidy them up for future use.

@Cheri I also leave comments for myself about how it worked out, any changes I made, suggestions for next time.

@Miraz That is a great tip! It seems sooooo obvious that me first reaction was “why haven’t I thought about this”. Thanks for sharing!

@jeroensangers Isn’t that always the way! It took me a while before I thought to do that.

@Miraz I also hate those recipes that spring bonus “you should have done this earlier!” steps on you (my least favourite is when they go “now add the cooked rice” 🤦🏻‍♀️). I definitely rewrite recipes for my own use too, mostly to explicitly write where’s a good time to chop veggies or get the rice started for a dish I’m gonna serve with rice (that kind of thing anyway). I hadn’t thought of embedding the quantities directly into the recipe – for me I feel like I need it in a separate list so I know what I need to get from the shop, but I can see the logic in embedding it, too!

@jayeless I have those quantities twice — both in the ingredients list and in the instructions. Thanks for the great example of the ‘you should have done this earlier’ step. 😂
