A recipe helps someone prepare food without guessing what comes next.
The idea
List ingredients with quantities, then give short commands in order; sequence words make the steps easy to follow.
Examples
- Ingredientes: dos tomates y una cebolla.Ingredients: two tomatoes and one onion.
- Primero, lava las verduras.First, wash the vegetables.
- Después, corta el tomate en trozos pequeños.Then, cut the tomato into small pieces.
- Añade una cucharada de aceite al bol.Add a tablespoon of oil to the bowl.
- Mezcla todo y sirve la ensalada.Mix everything and serve the salad.
- Para la merienda, pon una manzana en el plato.For a snack, put an apple on the plate.
