 ### Recipes
 
-To enable flexibility, ease of use, and repeatability, SparseML uses a declarative interface called `recipes` for specifying the sparsity-related algorithms and hyperparamters that should be applied by SparseML.
+To enable flexibility, ease of use, and repeatability, SparseML uses a declarative interface called `recipes` for specifying the sparsity-related algorithms and hyperparameters that should be applied by SparseML.
 
 `Recipes` are YAML-files formatted as a list of `modifiers`, which encode the instructions for SparseML. Example `modifiers` can be anything from setting the learning rate to encoding the hyperparameters of the gradual magnitude pruning algorithm. The SparseML system parses the `recipes` into a native format for each framework and applies the modifications to the model and training pipeline.
