Writing a recipe on Wikibooks can be a fun and exciting way to make a recipe, whether it can be an appetizer or a dessert.

== Steps ==

# Cook your own recipe and write directions. Start by writing the ingredients you'll need for the recipe and cook. As you follow, write the procedure for each step. [[Image:Cook Step 1 Version 2.jpg|center]]
