A recipe is the only piece of writing that a reader can empirically disprove. When the ratio is wrong, or the proper pan size is omitted, the reader learns at 8 pm on a Wednesday, wasting their ingredients.
For this reason, we approach recipe writing as developers approach code. We list ingredients in the order the method uses them. We include gram weights and cup measurements in baking, and we specify the appearance of the food rather than the duration of the cooking time.
A cook knows the telltale signs of a custard. A custard coats the back of a spoon, and the timer is just a suggestion. The steps that writers include pan sizes, yields, rest times, and the step where something often goes wrong. Food safety temperatures are provided in the published standards, however, you must also take into consideration the safety temperatures your team comes up with.
Failure is the result when generated recipes get expensive. Adjusting ratios for a leavening agent is tricky and timing for brines is off and result in excess salt. A system gives instructions to sear then rest a roast for far too long when it should have been in the oven for at least an hour. It has never eaten food and lacks a dab of common sense too.
Here’s the dish, the skill level of your audience and whether the recipe has to be structured to include search data fields. The writer will then follow the steps as a chef would, ensuring the listed ingredients are used and checking that nothing is found in step four that was not prepped in step one.
Choose what you are publishing over what tier you achieve. A recipe card generally only contains about 450 words. A blog-style recipe post with a headnote and a few substitution notes will run somewhere close to 1,000 words. A five-recipe collection for a seasonal feature or a brand campaign will run closer to 2,400 words, and the per-word rate stays consistent across all of them.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical recipe content | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single recipe card | 450 | $45 | $0.45 | $45.45 |
| Recipe post with headnote | 1,000 | $100 | $1 | $101 |
| Five-recipe collection | 2,400 | $240 | $2.40 | $242.40 |

Not following the standard process, but we will say so. As writers, we develop our techniques based on prior experience and reference published work for benchmark ratios, but a paid kitchen test is a unique service. When a recipe is going to be used to print or include in a product, budget for testing on your side.
Yes. Conversion is a rewrite instead of a calculator run since cups can be volatile depending on how you pack flour and a more careful version indicates this. You get both systems in one list, among which metric weights are indicated where they are more reliable.

The descriptions were beautiful and about fifteen words too long for a one-page menu. I asked for them cut and got them back shorter and still good. Should have specified a character count. My fault, their patience.
The author noted in their original post that they had made the brine and that the salt amount in our notes was not correct for the volume, which it was not. They did a self correction and rightfully so, it is the bare minimum that writing about food gets right.
The customer we used in this example sent us a nice email saying it was the least stressful case study she’s had to do. This has never happened to us. I have to say the article is awesome, too. The customer liked the interview, but what I will remember is the process.
