aha! I have a new method for writing up recepies:
You list the ingredients in a big long (or short) list down the left hand of the page.
Then you combine ingredients with a } sign, with instructions for how you combine them after the }.
For example:
2 eggs } mix in a bowl 1/4 cup of milk }
You write out the sequence of instructions left to right (possibly with a timeline across the top of the page to indicate specific times).
For example:
2 eggs } 1/4 cup of milk } mix roughly } salt } in a bowl } fry pepper } } knob of butter } melt in a flying pan }
Or something.
I think it probably works better on paper (where I first tried it), or maybe pdf.
