The problem is that you don't have definite proof that said recipe was
ever cooked. See Plat for a number of doubtful recipes. This is more
important in my specialty, where it is obvious that many instructions
weren't followed (or people would have noticed that cucumber seeds soaked
in different flavorings didn't grow flavored cucumbers!)

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
