Cooklang seems pretty much perfect for every use case I can think of.

I would probably prefer a more generic syntax if I were doing it from scratch, but then I'd just wind up with HTML and it wouldn't be as good for recipes.

I could see a more structured approach being useful if you were following one step at a time on a tablet, so maybe that scales better to more complicated recipes?

Most of the stuff I cook is simple enough it all fits on one screenful anyway, on the rare occasion I even use a recipe at all, so I'm not quite sure what the best approach is to cover very complex recipes.
