Program written in the Chef programming language, a language in which programs look like recipes; stored in a plain text format that can be viewed in a text editor or run using a Chef interpreter.

Each Chef program includes a Recipe title, which describes what the program does, an Ingredient List, which stores individual data values, a Method, which contains instructions, and a Serves statement, which defines how many people the recipe serves. The Chef programming language is not designed for developing actual computer programs. Instead, Chef is an esoteric language used for outputting creative mathematical data from cleverly designed recipes.
