The Observer recently reported a new trend with Twitter users: posting entire recipes within the 140 character limit.
While the article critiqued some of the new recipe-Twitterers’ confusing abbreviations, many of them are interesting and worth deciphering.
An advantage of condensing recipes for amateurs in the kitchen is that these recipes are relatively easy – for example, the chefs are forced to use as few ingredients and steps as possible.
“Dugas says the micro-recipes work because they are ‘simple, tasty and can be made with very few ingredients’. His recipes tend to be quick-cook family-friendly meals such as ‘quesadilla – skillet @ med heat, butter 1 side tortilla – on pan butter-down. layer:colby-jack cheez, diced cooked chicken. @ 1min_fold_1min’.” (The Observer)
