Q. I need to create an APA citation for a family recipe.

Recipes from friends and family members can be cited as personal communications or interviews.

The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) provides details for creating this type of citation.  Follow the link to Purdue OWL below, and then click on the Reference List: Other Non-Print Sources page on the left side of the screen.  The rules for this type of citation will be at the top in the Interviews, Email, and Other Personal Communication section.
