I'm trying to learn about cooking and I think writing recipes can help. Problem is, when I write a recipe, it's not obvious how much to include. I can stop with the few hints I need to recreate a dish in a week's time, or I can try for organized, detailed instructions that would permit someone else to reproduce the dish. It takes a lot longer to write a detailed recipe, so if I do it, I want to be sure it is actually worth the effort.
Currently, I think writing the detailed recipe focuses my attention on why each step and ingredient (and why not some other) which I think is good.
Anyway, I'm interested to hear what other neophytes and ex-neophytes think about this.
Thanks
