This seems like it wouldn't scale well for more complex recipes, and for the given example I'd prefer a list of steps instead, e.g.

  1. butter and flour an 8x8-in pan
  2. preheat oven to 350 fahrenheit
  3. melt unsalted butter (4 oz)
  4. mix with sugar (1 cup), vanilla extract (1/4 tsp), and 1 shot fresh brewed espresso or very strong coffee
  5. mix with eggs (2)
  6. fold in ap flour (1/2 cup), cocoa powder (1/3 cup), baking soda (1/4 tsp) and table salt (1/4 tsp)
  7. add to pan and bake for 30-40 min

I think it depends on how much of a verbal versus visual thinker you are. I'm very much the latter, and I've been using the Cooking for Engineers template for years. One nice thing about it is still having an ingredient list for shopping or mise en place and steps together without repeating a bunch of text.

Also, bigger recipes will usually have parts that are done concurrently, and the boxes with those steps will stack vertically. The example is one sequence all involving the butter, so that's already really the worst case scenario for this format.

Those are good points! Thanks for sharing.

Could always make a few of these for any required subassemblies and then one that puts them together.

But yeah it's hard to beat a succinct list.
