With latest LLMs I feel there is less and less need to be structured about authoring recipes.

I now jot down rough notes in Obsidian when I make a meal I like, and let AI re-format it if I want to share the full recipe with somebody. This also lets me control the output: if I’m sending the recipe to somebody who is new to cooking, I might ask for a more detailed output than if they were only interested in my flavour combinations or specific techniques.

Assuming the LLM doesn't unpredictably add something poisonous. :p

Yeah, personally I'd use markdown too, at this point it is easier to use llama-3.1-8b to parse markdown / text into your JSON format of choice than it is to massage recipes into a specific markup like Cooklang.
