140-character recipes

I love Twitter recipes because they’re inspirational: you think you don’t have time to cook, or maybe you don’t know how? Well, how hard could it be to follow 140 characters’ worth of directions?

Plus they challenge recipe-creators to make simple foods — so often the best foods, especially as summer approaches and fresh produce is abundant. You want to do as little to a perfectly ripe tomato as possible; anything longer than 140 characters and your recipe might be in danger of ruining it! (Okay, I’m exaggerating, but you get my drift.)

Today’s NYT has an article on the growining phenomenon; The Guardian published something similar last month, including challenges to top chefs to write their own tweet-length recipes.
