Some recipes end up with more than one dish, like when you prepare a thing and its accompanying sauce together.
I guess superficially you can join them together with a final node that is like "serve all the dishes".
- beAbU 2y agoSome dishes require more overlap, which will be tricky to write in this format. E.g. taking the pan juices and turning that into a sauce. It's a separate process/dish, yet wholly dependant on the other process completing a critical step.
- account42 2y agoYou also often have ingredients or intermediate products that are used in more than one step so a tree is not ideal. You could duplicate those ingredients/intermediates but that would not be helpful. And for more complex meals, time planning becomes more important so that everything is ready to serve together.
- stevage 2y agoTo be honest, I kind of prefer when a recipe treats duplicate ingredients as completely separate. Rather than that "use 300g of the butter here, use the rest here" approach which is harder to follow.
- yencabulator 2y agoThat works well for a basic off-the-shelf ingredient, but what if you needed a complex dressing/sauce/broth/marinade/spice mix that was later used in multiple combinations. You'd want to make that all in one batch.
