ABSTRACT
To some extent we’ve offered a ‘recipe’ for cooking essays. We have identified the key ingredients and suggested how they should be put together. However, following a recipe is only the first step in learning how to cook. If you stick religiously to our recipe you will produce a basically competent product. It is up to you to breathe life into your essay and make it stand out from the massproduced crowd. Good cooks modify recipes to reflect their own personality. When you become a really great cook you no longer need a recipe.
