I really like the design of this!

This is perhaps a bit more of a philosophical point but I think that I find the separation of quantity and ingredient perhaps a little arbitrary - in many cases they're coupled tightly e.g. I've only ever found 'cloves' as a quantity to refer to garlic.

I've personally always wanted recipes to be prefixed with a mise en place section of steps - e.g. instruct the reader explicitly to dice onions, etc. in the main body of the recipe rather than imply the step in the ingredient description - what do you reckon?

That's great, I really like it. My main thought is that most of non-american engineers favor SI units, so getting values in cups, ounces and pounds is not too great.

A possible improvement would be to replace freedom units with their international counterpart (with sane rounding to a two digits precision, or similar).

I love this thing for process view. Can you share the code so I can fork and build for our academic groups who need help with processes?
