Why Does Every Recipe Lie About Prep Time? ⏰🥄

Every time I try a new recipe, the prep time is always way off. Yesterday, I made a simple chicken stir fry that was supposed to take 30 minutes. It took me almost an hour just to chop all the veggies and get everything ready. The recipe said 'quick and easy,' but I kept double-checking if I missed a step or ingredient. Maybe it’s just me, but even boiling pasta somehow takes longer than the box says. My tip: always read the whole recipe before starting, and add at least 15 extra minutes to whatever time they claim. Sometimes, I wonder if these recipe writers have a team of sous chefs helping them out. #CookingStruggles #RecipeReality #KitchenTruths #Food #Cooking
