A prep list is not just a rewriting of recipes It is reading through recipes and composing a
written map of how to accomplish the tasks necessary to prepare the recipes
The first step in organizing your work is to read and understand the recipes you will be using
Once each item is identified and quantified, the next step is to schedule your tasks through prioritization
