Implementation details

• Ingredient names are case-sensitive and must contain only letters and spaces.

• Auxiliary recipe names are case-sensitive. If the recipe title is Chocolate Sauce, calling instruction must be Serve with Chocolate Sauce and not Serve with chocolate sauce.

• Each method instruction must end with a period.

• Method instructions can be located on separate lines, the same line or a mix of both. The following is a valid Chef recipe method:

  Put salt into the mixing bowl. Mix well.
  Fold sugar into the mixing bowl. Clean the mixing bowl.
  

  Note that a single method instruction cannot roll over to the next line, though.

• The Chef language involves usage of present and past forms of verbs:

  Blend the sugar.
  <other instructions>
  Shake the mixture until blended.
  

  The Esolang Park interpreter cannot convert verbs between the two forms, so we adopt the following convention: the past form of the verb is the same as the present form of the verb. So the above example must be changed to the following for Esolang Park:

  Blend the sugar.
  <other instructions>
  Shake the mixture until blend.
