A recipe is a set of instructions that show how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish. Modern culinary recipes normally consist of several components:

• The name (and often the locale or source) of the dish

• How much time it will take to prepare the dish

• The required ingredients together with their quantity

• Equipment and environment needed to prepare the dish

• A list of detailed preparation procedures (method)

• The number of servings that the dish will give

• A rough estimate of the number of calories or joules contained per serving

• A note on how long the dish will keep

In the early history of recipes, many of these components were omitted; some recipes may only have the name and the ingredients of a dish.

A sample recipe with all components is the following:

Title: Fried eggs (two sides done)

About 5 minutes to prepare.

Popular breakfast dish in the USA and Western Europe.

Often served with toast or other fried dishes.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of butter (or olive oil)

2 or 3 large eggs, depending on appetite

Seasoning to taste

Equipment:

A small (10") frying pan

A spatula

Gas ring, at medium heat

Method:

Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat

Crack the eggs into the pan and let fry until the yolks begin to harden at the edges.

Using the spatula, flip the eggs over and allow to cook for one minute.

Add seasoning to taste, and serve.

Serves: one

The author can also add some notes and variations. For example in the case of this dish it can be: “For 'Sunnyside Up', do not flip the eggs. Use a mildly lower heat, and cover the pan with a lid for some of the cooking period. For a richer taste, try sprinkling with grated parmesan or freshly chopped basil and chives.”

Some notable features of the sample recipe include: ingredients listed in order, pan size specified, cooking temperature specified, and criteria for cooking time

Recipe writers often add additional facts about the recipe. Such facts may include the history of the dish, nutritional information, dietary information, information about health-benefiting properties of the dish. Nutritional information normally includes food energy, vitamin content, fat content, etc. Good recipe is based on balancing the foods you eat. When choosing products for the dish, consider how many calories are in each one. Choose foods low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Read labels and ingredient lists to find out what a product contains.
