A recipe is a set of instructions designed to instuct the reader on how to make something, particularly food. While modern recipes are quite precise in their instructions, recipes from period tend to be more ambiguous, and are sometimes little more than aides memoires for the cook. For this reason period recipes often require not only translation into modern English, but also redaction into a more modern style and interpretation to fill in missing information.
