Write a scene that describes a recipe. The recipe can…

be in steps or as a narrative passage.

correspond to the story either to develop character – reveal their interests, their attitudes, their voice

advance plot – Something the characters will need to use in the story

Find a recipe on Google to help with the language. 

Use active verbs that are unique to the recipe you’re making.
  • The recipe can be real or imaginary – like the recipe to make pasta sauce (or) the recipe for a magic potion
  • The recipe can be abstract like a recipe for success or a recipe for friendship •
  • Try writing it as if it’s either your first chapter or in the middle before things get worse for the protagonist or in the climax
