菜谱在英语中的说法是 "recipe"。这个词来自于拉丁语的 "recipere"，意思是 "to take" 或 "to receive"。菜谱的作用是提供一个具体的、细致的步骤，指导人们如何制作一道菜。例句：

Can you send me the recipe for that delicious soup you made the other day?

I found a great recipe for chocolate chip cookies on the internet.

My mom has a recipe for apple pie that has been passed down in our family for generations.

翻译：
