A travesty to the taste buds, an assault on the nose and eyes; a decent into the most foul tasting ingredients and their concoction, all encapsulated so innocently in a simple recipe.
The layout adheres to conventional cooking standards as the ingredients are listed with the two types of measurement available. The recipe aims once more to create an edible meal from, quite frankly inedible corned beef. It presumes the presence of an adult, or a cook with experience as it uses culinary terms. This is illustrated through use of words such as ‘dice’.
However, nothing in this layout prepares the supper guest or cook for the other elements of this recipe, such as the smell whilst cooking- let alone taste. It is clearly demonstrated here that there is a vast difference from the image words create on a page, and the realities of the kitchen. The recipe lays out a guide for the objective creation of a dish - to the point of disregard in reference to miniscule matters such as taste; it cannot portray for the reader the actuality of eating the dish, nor can it transfer this objectivity to the human taste-bud.
Each recipe is written to be angled at a certain readership, and awaken in the mind of every cook a desire to try out that particular dish or even take it into their own repertoire, however as we have discovered, the actualities of the kitchen and those ideals portrayed in every perfectly lain out recipe are quantum leaps apart.
