Our approach
recipeforyou publishes recipes built for the stove: clear ingredient lists first, then steps you can follow with a pan already hot.
How we test
Each recipe is cooked in a home kitchen before it is published. We check that every ingredient is easy to find in a regular supermarket and that the quantities match the method.
Step wording is tested while cooking, so instructions stay short enough to follow with a pan on the stove.
Three checkpoints
Every ingredient must be sold in a standard supermarket or be a common pantry staple. Specialty items are flagged in the method.
Cooking times are checked on a home stove. We note when to lower the heat, when to rest, and what the pan should look like.
Each step names one action. Steps are rewritten until they read clearly with messy hands and a timer running.
