Here is an example from Cooking for Engineers - Lemon Bars. If you scroll down to the recipe you can see it uses all-purpose flour twice and lists it two times on the left side of the table.

This makes it real hard to determine the total amount of flour needed. Maybe add another column to the left, that sums up all the ingredients, in the format you might get it at the store. Then the second column becomes the mise en plas step, where the base ingredients are divided and prepared/chopped/grated etc.

Problem is column 1 and 2 wont necesarily have ingredients on the same row...

Left columns is raw ingredients no? LLM did perfect job with summing it. This is like instruction plate not shopping list. Can transform trivially.
