Two chefs or cooks together in a one-on-one real time session, looking at the same recipe on a shared screen.

Recipe reviews are a best practice that promote understanding, constructive criticism, and detection of potential issues before audiences see them.

During a recipe review, both people provide constructive criticism and feedback to help promote recipe clarity, ease of use, consistency, and promote best practices.

Recipe reviews are a fun way to learn and come up with new ideas together!

Goal of Recipe Reviews:

  1. Knowledge Transfer

  2. Catch Fixes

  3. Create new Best practices

Specifics

This concept was derived from the software engineering ‘code review’, an enterprise best practice to promote consitency of style and implementation, plus provide learning opportunities and a chance to catch issues while software is still in the implementation phase.

Samples

Justin and Taylor have planned a screenshare this Thursday to review the new Payroll Deduction “Change Control” recipe. Taylor’s going to screenshare and walk Justin through each instruction (in Recipe Instructions / Flatmap) (in Terminology) and the standard set of ingredient s used in the recipe (in Recipe Instructions / Albert) (in Terminology). We’ll explore if the ideas make sense with respect to Justin’s deduction recipes and plan out the actions required to commonize our recipes to stay DRY !
