The Missing Ingredient

You receive an antique cookbook without authorship, in which one recipe has a secret missing ingredient. Describe your attempts to discover it.

This prompt takes mystery into an entirely different realm – the culinary world. Use your senses and cooking intuition to guess the missing ingredient. Would you taste, smell, experiment or research? This encourages exploration of sensory perception, research skills and creative problem solving.
