What does RECIPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A set of instructions and a list of ingredients for preparing a particular dish or drink.
A written recipe usually gives amounts, a method in steps and a cooking time, and families often pass favourite ones down through generations. The word began as a Latin command meaning take, once written at the head of a doctor's prescription. It also works figuratively, as in a recipe for disaster, for any combination likely to bring about a result.
