Recipe Practice

Why is recipe text different?

A recipe brings together measurement units (cups, tsp, g), a degree sign, and numbered headings like “Step 1” and “Step 2” all in one piece of text — a different rhythm than the other lessons.

• Reinforce the habit of typing a unit abbreviation right after a number, sometimes with a space and sometimes without (like “250g”).
• The degree sign (°) sits directly against the number with no space; make that distinction deliberately.

How should you practice?

• Automate the switch to a capital letter right after numbered headings like “Step 1:” and “Step 2:”.
• Treat time ranges (25-30 minutes) as a single unit as you type them.
• Focus on flowing smoothly between comma-separated items in an ingredient list.
