Hahah, recipes are actually a very interesting application. A program is much like a recipe, after all. I could see a collaborative site where you build up a personal cookbook by forking and trying out other peoples' stuff and contributing your own modifications, etc.

If you think recipes are like code, you should look at knitting patterns sometime. It looks like assembly code to me.
I have a grandmother who can debug knitting patterns.
The patterns in the books are, apparently, sometimes wrong somehow. She debugs them when she knits.
I can only imagine every competent knitter can, if only because those books must sell to a huge number of them.
