A recipe is a set of instructions for preparing something, usually food. It represents the experience of the person who penned the recipe, and saves the novice from having to experiment with such things as quantities and cooking times.

It can also be used in a figurative sense, to mean a course of action: for example, a recipe for disaster or a recipe for economic recovery.
