Which item is NOT typically addressed by a standard recipe card?

• A. Ingredient lists
• B. Quantities
• C. Steps
• D. Vendor pricing

Answer: (D)

A standard recipe card is meant to guide someone through making a dish, so it focuses on what you need, in what amounts, and the exact steps to follow. The ingredient list tells you everything you must gather, the quantities give you precise measurements for each item, and the steps lay out the order, techniques, times, and temperatures to achieve the desired result. Vendor pricing isn’t part of these execution details; it’s about cost control and procurement, which belong on separate costing sheets or vendor documents rather than on the recipe card itself. So vendor pricing isn’t typically addressed by a standard recipe card.
