Final Version:

This simple paella is sure to wow your guests and is simple and easy to make. The simple list of ingredients means that it is easy to make at home and produces stunning results. This recipe includes seafood as well as normal ingredients to give a little extra spice to your food. In this recipe we add spice and mussels to the paella but the recipe can be modified to fit anyone's taste. The recipe itself comes from Spain and is called the cheaters paella this is because of its simple to make recipe but still getting amazing looking and tasting results when it is made. Paella originally came from the farmers in Spain they used whatever the leftovers were along with some rice and onions. Since then, the recipe has changed but the same principal ingredients are still there.

First

Ingredients  

 

What You Will Need: 

Two packets of ready cooked Spanish or Mexican flavoured rice

Method: 

Peel and slice the onion and peppers (discarding seeds)  

Fry the chorizo, onion, and peppers in olive oil until soft and put them into a large oven proof dish with all the oily juices  

Open the bags of cold rice, break up the lumps a bit and mix into the dish

Strengths:

The magazine contains a recipe that is accurate and that has all of the necessary steps and information that a reader can use and make the recipe and then use the images on the page to check if they have made the food correctly. Another strength is that the body copy has been laid out in a way which means that on the page the reader can easily see what to do.

Another strength of the text is that it uses cooking terms to be able to appeal to both a professional cook as well as people who not may any of the terminology. Doing this increases the scope of people who can use the magazine.

Weaknesses:

One of the main weaknesses is that the magazine does not have much other text meaning that it reads more like a book or just a plain set of instructions. I have added some other text to the page to make sure that this is not a big problem for the page. For example I have added the location and the history of the dish to make sure that there is some other text.
