I believe this design breaks down once you have a step that prepares an ingredient that then gets split for use in two or more later steps.
But now I'm thinking which kind of diagram could be used as well. Some adaption of an UML activity diagram maybe?
I ran into this exact issue when I was making these diagrams for my own recipes: https://git.tilde.town/gamerdonkey/recipes_for_engineers#known-issues . My workaround was just to have instructions to set some aside and use it later.
I find this layout works best for in-the-moment reference while cooking, and the 2-dimensional nature of it is what really makes it useful. So I think of splitting an ingredient as like lifting some of it out into an imaginary third dimension before inserting it later at another step.
I've never seen a 3-dimensional recipe (ink in a cookbook notwithstanding), aren't they all 2-dimensional?
