This is that piece of paper with your doctor's sulat-kamay that looks like ancient hieroglyphics, which only the pharmacist can decode. It's your ticket to getting that much-needed antibiotic. In the kitchen, it's Lola's secret reseta for adobo that she'll only pass down to her favorite apo.
From Spanish 'receta' (recipe, prescription).
While it can mean 'recipe,' its primary and more common meaning in modern Filipino is 'medical prescription.' The English word 'recipe' is often used directly for cooking.
