Why eleven?

Short enough to choose from.
A long scroll of recipes makes the decision harder. Eleven fits on one screen.
Times that add up.
Prep plus cook time, nothing hidden. The 30-minute list only holds recipes that really total 30 minutes or less.
Ingredients first, steps numbered.
US cups and spoons, one action per step, and a print button on every recipe.
