- SavantIdiot 5y agoBecause the title of the article is literally "Why do recipe writers lie..." Don't you think that perhaps the person making the claim should have their facts straight?

" My point is that the author is complaining about lying but not following their own objection.
- cortesoft 5y agoI am confused.... if the recipe itself lists an inaccurate time, that is still the recipe "lying" even if another part of the book says onions take a long time?
