I wanted to make something similar for years, just with more focus on timing and multi-threading :) I really cringe when I read recipe for normal people and it says something like "Chop ingredients A and B and put them into bowl. Now add previously prepared mixture of C and D.". I mean, just tell me first to mix C and D, not in the middle of the process. Lazy initialization is not always good :) The same thing when the recipe tells "and now put all of that into preheated oven". Great, now I have to wait for 15 minutes until oven heats. That should be done on the first thread which waits on a barrier until I finish with the dough in the second thread.
