Essay & Composition Writing
Recipe for my technical communication class.
Hello,
My name is Abdul and I'm attending technical communication class where they want us to be professional writers, and honestly English is my second language. The instructor wants us to write a cooking recipe and I made a recipe of a traditional dish in my culture called "Kabsa." The work Kabsa basically means in Arabic "all in" and it is chicken and rice cooked in the same pot. I wrote down everything I know about this recpie but I still want to make sure that I'm doing it right. My question is:
Do I have to write the word Conclusion at the end of my recipe?
here is the recipe, please check if I have any mistakes and I hope you can try it home as well.

The Saudi Kabsa
How would you like to make a Kabsa?
Kabsa is one of the traditional dishes of the Saudi culture. It’s delicious!!
What you need is:
* 1 large onion-chopped * 1 tomato-chopped * ½ can tomato sauce(optional)
* 3 cups of rice (washed) * 4 ½ cups of water * 2 tbsp of butter
* 1 whole chicken cut in pieces (or 4 pieces of chicken breast or thigh)
* 1 tsp each of curry, cardamom, black pepper and saffron *Salt to taste
* large cooking pot * stirring spoon
Instructions:
1- Melt butter in the large cooking pot on medium heat, add onions and cook until onions are translucent. (1 minute approximately)
2- Add tomatoes and cook until soft, add spices, tomato sauce (if you want the rice to be red and juicy) and stir for 30 seconds.
3- Place raw chicken on top of onion mixture, stir in and cook for 2 minutes to let the chicken absorb the moisture.
4- Add water, salt, cover and cook for 25 minutes.
5- Add rice; turn temperature down to LOW; replace the lid.
6- Allow the dish to steam for 20 minutes.
7- Transfer to a large serving dish, and dig in!!!
This recipe serves 5. If you are cooking for less than five, reduce the rice and water.
Tips:
· ¾ cup of rice feeds one person.
· Use 1½ cup of water for each cup of rice.
· Make sure the lid is snug (tight) so steam does not leak out of the pot
· This dish is perfect with either chicken or lamb
Conclusion:
Hospitality is an essential pat of Arab culture and traditionally plays a major part in any celebration. In a Saudi household, the cook most often will prepare enough food for at least one unexpected guest. Any guest is treated with respect and welcomed with true Saudi Arabian courtesy.

Sounds delicious. " Rather than the informal "you will need" try to put the food ingredients in one category, followed by the utensils. No, you most definitely do NOT need a conclusion in a recipe; however, what you have written is a charming insight into your family's dining table, and I like it a lot.

- I would re-title that as "Serving notes" or "A note from the chef" or something like that.
- Say that you can substitute lamb at the end, since you already used chicken in the recipe.

Sounds delicious.
In a recipe, you usually list "ingredients" and in this case, you've listed "utensils."
