“RTFM” My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as “prepare the chicken” and aren’t at all clear what they mean, unless you’ve seen someone do it first, but it’s published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like “1 can” which just drives me insane as though that’s a standard unit.
There’s also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. “Chop” parsley - how finely? “Mix the ingredients” how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?
Golden brown is however seared you like it, as long as it’s cooked, and there’s no pink. Cooking is not a science, unlike programming. Personally, I like a good crusty sear.

It seems like you would probably prefer baking as it is a much more exact science.
Mix ingredients - how long? Until they are mixed. If a thing needs stirring for a length of time the recipe will tell you

Beef doesn’t go golden brown when you sear it
Golden brown is the colour of cooked wheat flour products - things toast to golden, they don’t sear to golden
Golden Brown is a song by the Stranglers released in 1982
Hey, I was released in 1982!
What a coincidence. Did you ever get tied to the mast and sent to distant lands?
Do commercial airline seats count?
Golden brown is my favorite considering it changes depending on how much light is in the room.
I think in the according to The Stranglers it’s heroin.
