Since people are posting their respective recipe formats, I'll throw in one created by a friend from college. I haven't tried any recipes in this format, but the color coding of processing/ingredient blocks to the vertical time axis and clear listing of how ingredients get processed together are appealing.

I've had multiple recipes on common recipe sites in which, mid-cooking I've realized were missing steps, didn't mention reserving a portion for later, or some elements were not impacted by the serving size multiplier. A diagram of some sort could help me reduce my error rate.

This is how I do it. I can't stand needing to find information in ten paragraphs of text while cooking.

- Ingredients are listed in one column on the left in order of use.

- Duplicate ingredients are separate.

- Each step has one or more input products and one or more output products, indicated by arrows, and braces to group multiple.

- Handwritten because it's much easier. Computers are just too much trouble.
