RECIPLAY (V.) ‘ress-i-play  To cook without a recipe, adding a little bit of this, a little bit of that, sometimes producing a triumph, sometimes a mess. Usage: Ethan  was proud of his freestyling way of cooking without cookbooks, recipes,  or measuring spoons—even though the results were often inedible. But  sometimes his reciplaying produced a masterpiece, which bummed out his  roommates, because he couldn’t repeat it, having  had no recipe.
