These recipes are the first of their kind.
They have been reformatted to align
the instructions with the way your
brain actually processes information.
I applied scientific findings
about cognitive processes in order
to create these unique recipes.
These are called CID formats –
an acronym for
Cognitive-based Information Design.
CID recipes make it easier to:
Identify ingredients &
Follow directions.
“I don’t like to cook” was my go-to phrase for decades. Then I started applying the CID findings to my recipes. In order to share the formats I needed to make each recipe myself ensuring the procedure was correct. By the time I was making my 3rd Easy To Use recipe I was actually enjoying cooking for the first time in my life. This created a wonderful AHA! moment for me. I was thrilled!
Creating these Easy To Use (ETU) recipes began as a way to share examples of how cognitive-based formats can make a positive difference in our lives. Now, I am doubly motivated to share these recipes in order to help others have a less stressful experience with cooking. It’s been a game changer for me & I hope it will be for you, too.
In order to help as many stressed cooks as possible, please ‘share’ with your family, friends, neighbors and anyone you know who could use less stress in the kitchen.
I’d luv to hear from you.
What do you think about this new recipe format?
Have you tried using one (or two)?
BTW – constructive criticism is welcome.
Negative, snarky comments will be ignored.
To date, my experience is that most people like them, but some prefer the traditional recipe format. And that’s fine. Use the format that makes your life better.
I hope you find the formats easier to follow &
enjoy some of my favorite recipes* as well!
