## Summary
On this website [cooking for engineers](https://www.cookingforengineers.com/) the author writes these kickass recipe cards which are wonderful to look at. In my head, I feel like most recipes would benefit from these types of recipes.

The cards are effectively a flowchart. Or Gantt chart. So I guess Gantt chart recipes?

## Thoughts
I've tried to vibe code this a couple times, but I think the issue is two fold. First - maybe the data needs to be cleaned? Recipe pages are filled with SEO garbage. Plus the instructions are kindof unclear? Secondly, actually organizing the chart into appropriate charts without (too much) duplication. I imagine existing flow chart/mermaid diagrams could help here? Or Gantt chart builders?
The craftsmanship and simplicity of the html tables from Cooking with Engineers is pretty admirable. It really elicits a Web 1.0 joy from me when I look at it. I think there's a chance that a simple solution here would lose that simplicity.
