Or if any of the steps requires a more complicated instruction that can't be expressed in a few words. It wouldn't break the structure of the diagram, but it wouldn't be as beautiful.

It is a fun idea though, maybe there is another format that works.

    The diagram does have benefits. For example it shows which steps can be performed in parallel if multiple people are cooking.

    Similarly, it also easily identifies which part of the recipe each ingredient goes to. You can do this by splitting up the ingredients list as well, but that doesn't really go against it being a good idea.

    I'm a software "engineer" and also passionate about cooking. Both are arts. You can't reduce it to an algorithm
