Take an informed guess at the stack they want and use that example to make the general case. Interviewer: What method do you use to bake an apple pie? Chef: For a traditional pie, I'll go with Granny Smith apples and cut ice cold shortening into the flour for a light flaky crust. That said, some of my customers like the fuller flavor of Macintosh apples, which need a bit less cooking time and more lemon to balance the sweetness. One of my regulars orders their pies parbaked on graham cracker crust, which required X Y and Z changes from the traditional method.
