When reading a recipe I always end up mentally translating the prose / steps into a DAG, but I don't have enough short term memory to keep the DAG in my head so I'm constantly re-compiling as I'm working.
When I write my own recipes (on index cards or whatever), I explicitly create the graph to make it easier to follow. Of all the links in this thread, the "Computerized Cooking" one most closely models my ideal setup, but I don't love the RxOL language. Maybe I'll make an s-exp version of it that exports diagrams someday.
