Have you had issues with preparing meals just from instructions, like the description on completing the step was not enough? For example for me, I never cooked a pumpkin, so I had a wrong assumption on how I would make the pumpkin filling, but seeing a video helped realize what they meant. Probably better instructions would of dealt with that, but I would think some recipes would assume a level of background knowledge.
