cooking courses

A culinary recipe, kitchen recipe or simply recipe, in gastronomy, is an ordered description of a culinary procedure. It usually consists first of a list of necessary ingredients, followed by a series of instructions with which a specific dish or drink is made.1 It usually includes in some cases a list of the kitchen utensils suitable for its realization. Occasionally includes a social, historical description that motivates the recipe.2

Recipes can be transmitted throughout the history of peoples, from generation to generation, through oral tradition, or written down through their compilation in cookbooks or culinary recipe books. This compiled knowledge is an important part of the culture of a human group, its evolution allows knowing the changes to which a culture is subjected. Its use in sociological and anthropological studies, or in history allows knowing the culinary conditions, tastes, and influences of a period.3 In the 21st century, culinary recipes frequently appear in the media such as television programs, magazines, newspapers and blog.
