About Americans’ recipes, which of the following statements is TRUE?

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together”可知，食谱列出做每一道菜所需要的所有材料（通常依照使用的顺序列出），每一种的用量以及如何将它们搭配的说明，因此A项正确；B项全文并未提及；根据文章第四段倒数第二句“Magazines devoted to home management, such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle, are chock-full of scrumptious selections.”可知，一般理家杂志，如《好管家》及《家庭圈》都满满地刊载很多美味的精选食谱，因此C项排除；根据文章第四段倒数第一句“Friends often augment their recipe collection by passing around their favorites written on cards.”可知，朋友们经常把自己最爱的食谱写在卡片上，相互传阅，来增加自己的食谱收藏，因此D项排除。故选A。
