This is something I get (better ways at storing and using information.

I like the of a list of ingredients with the quantity in the top and then repeated in the steps (if no quantity is mentioned in the steps its implied the whole ingredient is used). This makes sense in that you may need to have on hand 3 tbs of butter but 2 get melted and mixed in step 3, and 1 is used to grease the pan in step 5.

The next dimension would be a language/glossary of preparation terms (slice apple - how? radially or into x thickness sheets?) This would be helpful for those without any clue on common actions and maybe later for automation. Though cooking is way more an art than just a set of steps and standard unit quantities.

With a glossary you could search for recipes that use grated apples or recipes that use a food processor, or don't use an oven, etc.

Good "food for thought" :-D
