Recipes absolutely should be written in code. If I could view source, copy the recipe yaml, and paste into my personal recipe manager app, it would be much more convenient.

Screenplays... are already written in code, partly. If they weren't, they'd include quotation marks and "she said" after every line.

I think the counter-point to that would be that if you're writing infrastructure as code, and your architects are using a specific language anyways (Python in this case), it makes more sense for data governance and editing reasons to just keep things in the existent ecosystem and not worry about having to procure another license.

Vs. Cooking or Writing which aren't coding practices unto themselves.

How about music as code…Sonic-Pi would like to offer a counterpoint :)
