How to write a food magazine article

I am going to use this research to write my magazine article to the best of my ability.

The food talked about should be sensual so that the reader can understand what I am talking about. For example, my readers should be able to smell the apple pie, feel the fuzzy down of a peach, see the vibrant colors of the spices, hear the bite, and taste the sweet and sour from my description.

Limiting the use of adjectives can be a great help. If writing is strong enough, there is no need to use unnecessary words like delicious. Instead, trying to use metaphors or similes can do the work of the adjectives and interest readers at the same time. Avoiding generic terms allows the author to get straight to the point. Using words such as satin-smooth or buttery is a good way to be descriptive if using an adjective is needed.

The act of cooking should be an action movie. It's important to tell the reader what happens while you are preparing the food. A great way to ensure that this will happen is by keeping a notepad right next to where you are cooking. That is an easy way to write down notes of things that happen in the process of making the food. As for recipes, they should be written in the standard format using step-by-step instructions. Thoroughly test it to make sure that the recipe you are putting in the magazine actually works. When testing it, use a scale to get accurate measurements. In the steps, explain exactly how every ingredient is used - including how an ingredient was cut sing both the size and shape is one way to do this. When listing the ingredients, do so in the order they are called for in the directions.
