Haiku for You

Took on a Haiku Recipe assignment worth 2 stars. I felt pretty good about this one because I decided to go very simple but stick to the shortness and syllabus of an actual traditional Haiku. I chose the first comfort food I could think of that would also lend itself to a short recipe. So naturally a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwhich. I also looked through other peoples examples to make sure I was not just going off of what other people had already done.

Here is my recipe:

Place bread on table

Spread jam and peanut butter

Put together, eat

Recipe Haiku

For my first blog post, I chose to write a recipe in haiku form.  The assignment description asked that I write a complete recipe in haiku format, using the traditional 5-7-5 format and including all necessary steps.  Although I enjoy cooking, this was quite a challenge. Inspired by all of the impromptu salads I’ve thrown together over the years, here’s what I came up with for this assignment:

Chop the tomatoes.

Add Bibb lettuce, feta cheese,

Red wine vinaigrette.

Haiku Recipe

Write an entire recipe only in haiku. Stick to the 5/7/5 syllable pattern as much as possible, but don’t leave out any key instructions!

Extra credit: include step-by-step photographs to illustrate each stanza.
