STANDARD RECIPESWe need to know how to make the

items on the menu

A Recipe is a step by step set of instructions to

make a food dish

Page 24: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

STANDARDISED RECIPES

Ensures consistency in:

• Quality

• Quantity

• Cost

• Presentation,

Useful for:

• Food Ordering

• Controlling Portion Sizes

• Recording Food Costs

These are the recipes that the business uses.

They are not to be changed in any way.

This will ensure the food will be consistent in

quality, quantity, cost and presentation.

The recipes are used for ordering, controlling

portion sizes and recording food costs.

FOLLOW THIS PROCESS WITH ALL RECIPESRead the recipe all the way through, from beginning to end.

This way you will know that you have all the ingredients and tools ready.

You will also be able to look up recipe terms you don't understand so cooking proceeds smoothly.

Page 28: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

MISE EN PLACE(EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE)

After you have read the recipe, gather all the ingredients, pots, pans, bowls, and measuring utensils you will need. Go slowly and double check all the steps and ingredients

Page 29: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

TEMPERATURE , TIME & HEATINGRecipes should tell you how long a dish will take to make. This would include preparation time, cooking time and setting (such as jelly).

Some recipes give you exact cooking temperatures and times – ie. 375°F (180°C) for 15 minutes. Others will tell you how to cook the food – ie. Heat liquid until it simmers, Bake until Golden Brown

Oven temperatures may vary and times are for conventional ovens unless otherwise stated.Preheating – ensures the food can begin to cook as soon as it gets put into the oven

TemperaturesLow – used for light heating, simmering or keeping food warmMedium - used for most general cooking tasksHigh – Used for searing or boiling water

Many recipes are written for home use. Industrial stoves are more powerful. Most small amounts of food should cook correctly using low heat.

Page 30: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

OPTIONAL: NUTRITION ANALYSISNutrition information is not necessary for preparing a recipe, but it is very useful information when planning foods to fit into a particular eating plan. Some recipes include number of calories and/or grams per serving of various nutrients.

Page 31: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

MEASUREMENTSMeasurements in recipes

are critical.

When a recipe calls for a tablespoon or teaspoon, the author means for you to use actual measuring utensils, not spoons that you use for eating and serving.

Page 32: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

MEASUREMENTSMetric measurements

include millilitres (ml) Litres(l) Grams (gm) Kilograms (kg)

Many recipes from the internet are from the USA where Imperial measurements are used

Imperial measurements include

Ounces (oz) = 30 mls Quarts (qt) = 1 lt Pound (pd) = 440 gm

Page 33: SITHCCC101. I want to be a chef but I don’t know where to start You’ve come to the right place, let’s start from the beginning

MEASUREMENTS

Even the order of words in a recipe ingredient list can change how you measure.

For instance, if a recipe calls for "1 cup nuts, chopped", that is different from "1 cup chopped nuts".

Does that mean we make 100 of

No, we will make 50 serves of
