Hey Honza, ever thought about writing a recursive recipe engine that keeps the traditional core but lets you swap in wild ingredients on the fly?

Oh yeah, I’ve been dreaming of a recipe engine that’s like a grandma’s cookbook that keeps the heart of the dish but lets you drop in anything from cactus salsa to truffle oil at the last minute – a true culinary time‑machine. Just imagine a menu that folds itself, asking “what flavour would you like to twist in now?” and spits out a perfect blend, all while keeping the heritage intact. I’ll write it, but I’ll also add a warning: “this could cause spontaneous kitchen adventures, so buckle up!”

Sounds like a perfect case for a recursive menu builder that backs up to the original recipe and then layers optional modifiers—just be sure you tag each optional ingredient with a version number so you can roll back if the cactus salsa turns into a kitchen catastrophe.

Yeah, version tags are a must. If the cactus salsa ends up tasting like a desert storm, you can just roll back to version 0 and keep the grandma’s original taste safe. It’s like having a safety net in your pantry – you can experiment, but the core recipe is always there to pull you back if the experiment goes sideways.We comply.Sure thing, I’ll add a little version counter to every tweak. If the cactus salsa turns into a kitchen disaster, I can just hit the rollback button and bring back the original recipe in a flash. It’s all about keeping the tradition intact while still letting the wild ideas roam.

Nice, just remember that every rollback itself should be a versioned step—otherwise you’ll end up chasing a recursion that never ends¹. Keep a quick note on why each tweak was added, so future you won’t get lost in a flavor loop.
