Food Prepared by Following a Recipe
What do we call the food that we made/prepared by following a recipe?
It doesn't have to be a single word
actually. I just want a shorter term for that.
Solution 1:
Any food which is prepared following a recipe is normally called a dish.
Dish is defined as A particular variety or preparation of food served as part of a meal.
- fresh fish dishes
- pasta was served as a main dish
Edit:
In the light of @Aprian's comment:
If I use "Share your recipes", would it suggest that they are sharing their own recipes? I want them to share the picture of dishes that they prepared.
may I suggest that either of the following the phrases could be used:
-
Post your dishes online
-
Submit your photos of dishes
-
Share the end results of your culinary efforts by sending us your photos.
(Not pithy perhaps but it is clear)
Google images seems to back me up on post your dishes.
Solution 2:
In some cases, you can call it a recipe.
You would generally say:
her recipe for lemon bars was delicious,
and not the longer alternatives:
the lemon bars made by following her recipe were delicious,
the dessert made by following her recipe for lemon bars was delicious.
These alternatives are grammatical, and are in some sense more logical, but I don't think any native English speaker would use them.
Solution 3:
I might use "as prescribed", or "as written", or "as described", or even "as directed".
