unfortunately the recipes never include the steps required to prep the things. There's the ingredients, and then halfway through the recipe there's the "now add the chopped carrots" ..."WHAT?!?! you never told me to chop the carrots!"
drives me nuts. I have to rewrite any recipe i want to keep making to actually have all the required instructions.
- tgb 6y agoUsually though, FYI, they specify 'chopped' in the ingredients list. But that leads to the equally-infuriating "Only takes 5 minutes of prep!" but the ingredient list hides the fact that you have to make a pie crust or chop two pounds of veggies not included in that estimate.
- panzagl 6y agoI'm usually pretty good at getting veggies and seasonings ready beforehand, but 'now add cooked chicken' gets me almost every time.
- mynegation 6y agoTBH I have never seen professionally prepared cookbook or popular recipe sites surprising me like that. Small recipe blogs - maybe.
