Apparently, a list of ingredients can't be copyrighted, nor can a list of directions. The literary expression or whatever of those things can. So when I steal a recipe from someone else, I try to note where I got it from, and then I reformat it in the style I like best.
Since the primary purpose for this cookbook is my own personal use, the recipes are laid out the way I find most convenient. I usually stock my fridge and pantry ahead -- well ahead -- and then cook whatever I have the ingredients for. So having the ingredients separated out at the top is not wholly useful to me. I do put them in bold, so a quick scan will tell me what I'll need. Instead I organize the recipe by order of operations, with the action or technique in italics, the ingredient in bold, and any additional commentary in plain text following.
