Recipe Format
Recipes live in recipes/<course>/ with time, servings, and effort in the front matter, and get their own filterable section.
Recipes are notes with a few extra rules. They live in folders by course: recipes/soups/tomato-soup.md. The Recipes page groups them by course and filters them by name or tag, time, and effort.

The body
An "Instructions" section of numbered steps, with each ingredient and its amount in bold where it's used, so there's no separate ingredient list to keep in sync. Footnotes hold the asides. See Tomato Soup and Sheet Pan Chickpeas.
