that kind of schematic is exactly what i've wanted ever since I started trying to learn how to cook recipes (as opposed to just knowing some basic techniques and mixing things I like). I've always wondered why cooking, which is a very procedural and quantitative thing, doesn't have more standardization and conventions. If you're just trying to replicate an existing recipe to the T, it makes so much more sense to use numbers and diagrams than prose (let alone the irrelevant blogs that so many cooking websites attach to their recipe pages).

So basically you can copyright your blog which I skipped entirely, but not the actual materials and process, which is all the information of value anyway lol.

I'm pretty sure this is just for SEO hacking
