recipe redesigned

I was on vacation with my girlfriend this weekend -- she's currently in culinary school -- and somewhere in the soup of discussion around food, cooking, design, and technology, I brought up an idea I've had poking at the back of my brain for a while now. Whenever I try to cook from a cookbook, it strikes me how bad the traditional recipe format is from an information/communication design perspective. I've had an image in my head for the last couple years of how a recipe might look/behave if we redesigned it today, and she, being the expert in the subject itself, had a lot of great ideas/considerations that had never occurred to me. When I got home tonight, I sketched out part of the high-level structure just to get the idea down. Excited to work more on this with her as time allows :)
