Peer comment(s):

neutral John ANTHONY : Not sure it actually means "to prepare". More likely to be to "create" or "design" a recipe in my view.

agree MatthewLaSon : I don't see much of a different between "prepare" and "create" here. I think that "prepare" sounds better more often, but "create" could be better in some contexts.
