Dish

A Dish is a food item similar to a recipe that is prepared by combining multiple ingredients. In addition to individual ingredients, a dish also includes other recipes as ingredients.

A dish possesses all the properties of a recipe, such as a title, description, ingredients, instructions, etc. The place where it differs from a recipe is where it takes other recipes as ingredients.

An example of a dish could be a Vegan Buddha Bowl that includes Quinoa, Roasted Chickpeas, Avocado, Hummus, and Tahini Dressing as ingredients. While the dish has individual ingredients such as Quinoa, Avocado, it includes other recipes such as Roasted Chickpeas, Hummus, and Tahini Dressing.

The benefit of using a dish is that it allows you to break down a complex recipe into smaller, manageable recipes. This way, you can reuse the smaller recipes in multiple dishes. For example,

• The Roasted Chickpeas recipe can be used in multiple dishes such as Vegan Buddha Bowl, Chickpea Salad, etc.
• The Hummus recipe can be used in multiple dishes such as Vegan Buddha Bowl, Hummus Wrap, etc.
• The Tahini Dressing recipe can be used in multiple dishes such as Vegan Buddha Bowl, Falafel Wrap, etc.
