✨ The "Author" Challenge: Level Up Your Writing! ✍️
If a recipe has errors, no one can cook it! This week, aim for perfection:
• Don't forget to add Cooking Time and Servings (even approximate helps users plan!).
• Detail Every Step: Even for simple Chutneys or Drinks, write the steps clearly Don't just say "Mix". Mention the ingredients and the texture!
(e.g., "Whisk curd and besan until smooth and lump-free".
• Check Your Steps: Avoid sentence errors. If the instructions aren't clear, your recipe is of no use to the reader and home chefs!
• Writing takes too long? Use the Cookpad AI Recipe Assistant! It helps you write detailed, error-free steps in seconds.
• Format: Please use a SPACE after every comma and full stop for easy reading.
• Add clear Step Photo for every major step. DO NOT repeat the same step pictures multiple times.
