Except "one-starring the original recipe because the modified recipe didn't work out"

Because otherwise it looks very reasonable instead of very not reasonable

"It” refers to the substitution, not the recipe.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

I see your point now. For me it doesn't really read like it, because you have it in another cell of the table which gives it too little weight as a possible context for dereferencing the pronoun, while also having a valid noun preceding the pronoun begging to become referenced by it.

Yeah, I must be fun at parties, I know 😅

I see your point. If you view the cells as separate contexts, then it would be necessary to specify that "the substitution" is the thing that didn't work out.
