Timing of When Ingredients are Added to Recipes
I scraped a few thousand canonical recipes across 45 cuisines then analyzed how early (or late) each ingredient showed up in recipes steps.
The photos shows a small but representative sample of the ingredients analyzed
There's a lot of science behind when you should add ingredients to recipes. This involves fat-solubility and the delicacy of some volatile compounds. e.g. cardamon seeds are fat-soluble so they should be added early while basil has very delicate aroma compounds so it should be added late.
But I honestly find that hard to intuitively learn for new ingredients, so this is a rough estimate and interesting viz to get a quick understanding of when to add an ingredient
(tools and dataset: recipe1m+ and python + an LLM sweep to prune garbage recipes from the dataset (I pruned 20,000 recipes down to about 3000 'canonical recipes'))
