This strikes me as just fine unless you're a baker making dozens of kinds of cookies, or if you have a lot of recipes and then suddenly someone becomes allergic to an ingredient, then you have to change dozens or hundreds of things.

I tend toward configuration-driven design, the more I get into operations (not necessarily development in the purest sense).

If I'm writing things that I want people to use, I want them to describe what they want - I don't want them writing code unless they need to extend what I've already done.
