recipes
SayRES-i-peez/ˈɹɛs.ɪ.piz/
- 1Plural of recipe.
The cookbook collects regional recipes from across the Mediterranean.
Several of these recipes call for ingredients you can find at any market.
Note
A regular plural, but one that carries every meaning of the singular. Most recipes today are for food, yet the word began as a formula for preparing a medicine, a use now archaic. It still stretches to any set of mixing instructions, to the settings of an industrial process, and to plans in general, as in recipes for success. Only context tells the kitchen from the factory floor.
