% \begin{abstract}
% This package provides an environment for typesetting recipes in steps
% in which each ingredient is on the left of the page next to the
% method step where it is used.
% \end{abstract}
% 
% \MakeShortVerb{\|}
% \section{Introduction}
% There appear to be two styles of typesetting recipes in general use.  The
% more common (at least in recipe books in the U.K.)
% is where the ingredients appear at the top above the method, 
% as in the class |macros/latex/contrib/other/recipe|. Another
% way is to have each ingredient next to the method step in which it appears, 
% as in the package |macros/latex/contrib/supported/cooking|; 
% the |cuisine| package also uses this style, but closer to the format in 
% \textit{Practical Professional Cookery} by H.~L.\ Cracknell and R.~J.\
% Kaufmann.
%
% \section{Usage}
% The package is loaded using the header |\usepackage{cuisine}|;  the
% available options are:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item{|number|}\ \ Recipes will be numbered sequentially to the left of the 
% recipe title.  (This is the
% default.) The recipe \emph{steps} will always be numbered.
% \item{|nonumber|}\ \ Recipes will not be numbered.
% \item{|index|}\ \ Recipe titles will be written to the index for the
% document.
% \item{|noindex|}\ \ Recipe titles will not be written to the document
% index.
% (This is the default.)
% \item{|contents|}\ \ Recipe titles will be written to the contents for the
% document.
% \item{|nocontents|}\ \ Recipe titles will not be written to the document
% contents.
% (This is the default.)
% \end{itemize}
% You will need the package |nicefrac|; 
% it comes
% with current versions of te\TeX\ and is also 
% available from CTAN as part of the package |units| in 
% |macros/latex/|\hskip0cm|contrib/supported/|\hskip0cm|units|.
% 
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeEnv{recipe}
% Each recipe is set out in a |recipe| environment.  The three
% parameters are the title, and two recipe description fields---it is assumed
% that they are used for the number of servings and the preparation time, for
% example:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\begin{recipe}{|\textit{Title}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Number of servings}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Preparation time}|}|
%               \\$\vdots$\\|\end{recipe}|
% \end{quote}
% There is no reason why the descriptive fields cannot be used for other
% things (such as the number of calories).
% 
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\ingredient}
% \DescribeMacro{\ing}
% Within the environment, you type in method details directly, and you
% type the ingredients using |\ingredient| or the shorter version |\ing|
% \textit{before} the method step beside which you want the ingredient to
% appear.  A new method step is started whenever there is method text before
% an |\ingredient|.  Two consecutive |\ingredient|
% declarations will appear next to the same method step.
%
% The |\ingredient| command is used as follows:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\ingredient{|\textit{Quantity}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Ingredient}|}|
% \end{quote}
% There is an optional first parameter which allows you to separate the 
% numerical quantity from the name of the unit of measurement:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\ingredient[|\textit{Numerical quantity}|]|%
%               |{|\textit{Unit of measurement}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Ingredient}|}|
% \end{quote}
% Examples include:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\ingredient{a pinch}{salt}|\\
%   |\ingredient[4]{oz}{sugar}|
% \end{quote}
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\Ingredient}
% \DescribeMacro{\Ing}
% There is an alternative way to specify ingredients using a single 
% description for both the quantity and the ingredient, as follows:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\Ingredient{|\textit{Ingredient and quantity}|}|
% \end{quote}
% This can be used where describing awkward descriptions of units.  It would 
% also be preferable if you simply don't like the appearance of separating 
% units from ingredients as required by |\ingredient|.  (My taste has
% apparently changed over the last decade and a half!)  For example:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\Ingredient{zest and juice of 2 lemons}|\\
%   |\Ingredient{Worcestershire sauce, to taste}|\\
% \end{quote}
%
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\fr}
% Within the recipe you can use |\fr| to typeset fractions using
% |\fr12| to get \nicefrac12, or |\fr{11}{12}| to typeset \nicefrac{11}{12}.
% If the numerator or denominator of the fraction is more than one digit long
% then you will need to enclose it in braces (otherwise they are optional).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\degrees}
% \DescribeMacro{\0}
% \DescribeMacro{\X}
% \DescribeMacro{\%}
% A degree symbol can be obtained using |\degrees| or the shorter form |\0|;
% for example |120\0| gives 120${}^\circ$.
% A times symbol, ${}\times{}$, can be obtained using |\X|.
% As is usual with \LaTeX, to obtain a percent sign, \%, you must use |\%|
% since |%| on its own starts a comment.
% 
% 
% \section{More advanced usage}
% The |cuisine| package has been designed so that it is easy to vary the
% widths of the columns.  \LaTeX\ has very wide margins by default 
% so the text width is very narrow which may be unsuitable for
% typesetting recipes using this package.  (It might be worth looking at the
% KOMA-Script classes in 
% |macros/latex/|\hskip0pt|contrib/supported/|\hskip0pt|koma-script/| as an
% alternative to the standard \LaTeX\ classes.)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\RecipeWidths}
% The |\RecipeWidths| command is designed to be used in conjunction with the
% \LaTeX\ commands for changing the page layout.  It is used as follows:
% \begin{quote}
%   |\RecipeWidths{|\textit{Total recipe width}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Number of servings width}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Step number width}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Ingredient width}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Quantity width}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Units width}|}|
% \end{quote}
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\ResetRecipeCounter}
% The |\ResetRecipeCounter| command will reset the recipe counter so that 
% subsequent recipes are numbered from 1.
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\newstep}
% Within the recipe environment, to force a new step if you do not want 
% to declare any ingredients, use the
% |\newstep| command.  (A |\newstep| command with no preceding ingredient or
% method text will be ignored to prevent completely empty steps from
% appearing.)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\newpage}
% |\newpage| ends the current step (as for |\newstep|) but also tells the 
% environment that the next step will appear on
% the next page. 
% It is not normally necessary to use this command since page breaking after
% each method step will be done automatically by \LaTeX\ as necessary.
% Page breaks can only
% occur between method steps; method steps will not be split across pages.
% (Consequently, it may be advisable to keep method steps fairly short.)
%
% \medskip
% \DescribeMacro{\freeform}
% To typeset text across the whole width of the recipe instead of just the
% width of the method, use the |\freeform| command.  This is equivalent to 
% |\noalign| in tables.  Freeform text is not given a step number.
%
% \medskip
% The recipe environment has an optional first parameter with which you can
% assign a label to a recipe.
% \begin{quote}
%   |\begin{recipe}[|\textit{Label}|]{|\textit{Title}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Servings}|}|%
%               |{|\textit{Preparation time}|}|
%               \\$\vdots$\\|\end{recipe}|
% \end{quote}
% |\pageref| and |\ref| then refer to the recipe page number
% and recipe number respectively of the recipe with that label.  For example,
% the label in the recipe below will make |\ref{Zabaglione}| give recipe
% number \ref{Zabaglione}.  (Note that you cannot use |\label| for this
% purpose within the environment because it breaks the formatting.)
%
% \section{Fonts}
% The fonts used in the different parts of a recipe can be altered by
% changing the definition of the following macros; this should be done
% using, for example, \verb|\renewcommand*{\recipetitlefont}{\sffamily}|.
%
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
% \verb|\recipefont|&The default font used for the fonts below\\
% \verb|\recipetitlefont|&The font for the recipe title\\
% \verb|\recipeservingsfont|&The font for the number of servings\\
% \verb|\recipetimefont|&The font for the preparation time\\
% \verb|\recipenumberfont|&The font for the recipe number\\
% \verb|\recipestepnumberfont|&The font for each step number\\
% \verb|\recipequantityfont|&The font for the numerical quantity\\
% \verb|\recipeunitfont|&The font for the unit of measurement\\
%   & (or descriptive quantity)\\
% \verb|\recipeingredientfont|&The font for the ingredient\\
% \verb|\recipemethodfont|&The font for the method details\\
% \verb|\recipefreeformfont|&The font for freeform descriptions\\
% \end{tabular}
%
% \section{Examples}
% \subsection{A simple example}
% There is only whitespace between the first three 
% ingredients, so they are used for the first step with
% the method text which follows.  (Had
% there been text before the first ingredient, that text would become the first
% step and the heating instruction would be the second step.)  The fourth
% |\ingredient| signals the end of the method text and starts a new step.  The
% final |\end{recipe}| finishes that step.  
% \medskip
%
% \begin{small}\noindent
% |\begin{recipe}{Yorkshire Pudding}{4 portions}{1\fr12 hours}|\\
% |\ingredient[\fr12]{pt}{milk}|\\
% |\ingredient[2]{oz}{butter}|\\
% |\ingredient[5]{oz}{self-raising flour}|\\
% |Heat the milk and butter until nearly boiling.  Add flour and allow to|\\
% |seeth over.|\\
% |\ingredient[3]{}{eggs}|\\
% |\ingredient{to taste}{salt and pepper}|\\
% |Add the remaining eggs and whisk again.  Cook at 220\0C for about 1 hour.|\\
% |\end{recipe}|
% \end{small}
% \medskip
%
% \begin{recipe}{Yorkshire Pudding}{4 portions}{1\fr12 hours}
% \ingredient[\fr12]{pt}{milk}
% \ingredient[2]{oz}{butter}
% \ingredient[5]{oz}{self-raising flour}
% Heat the milk and butter until nearly boiling.  Add flour and
% allow to seeth over.
% \ingredient[3]{}{eggs}
% \ingredient{to taste}{salt and pepper}
% Add the remaining eggs and whisk again.  Cook at 220\0C
% for about 1 hour.
% \end{recipe}
%
% \bigskip
% The recipe below is the same but using the single-argument |\Ingredient| 
% command.  As you can see, the alignment is different from that of
% |\ingredient| and mixing them probably won't produce a pleasing output.
% If you are using only |\Ingredient| then the ingredients column can probably
% be made narrower (remember that this is still the sum of the quantity, unit
% and ingredient widths).
% \begin{recipe}{Yorkshire Pudding}{4 portions}{1\fr12 hours}
% \Ingredient{\fr12 pt milk}
% \Ingredient{2 oz butter}
% \Ingredient{5 oz self-raising flour}
% Heat the milk and butter until nearly boiling.  Add flour and
% allow to seeth over.
% \Ingredient{3 eggs}
% \Ingredient{salt and pepper, to taste}
% Add the remaining eggs and whisk again.  Cook at 220\0C
% for about 1 hour.
% \end{recipe}
% 
% \bigskip
%
% \subsection{A more complex example}
% We can change the widths of the columns using, for example,
% \begin{quote}
% |\RecipeWidths{.75\textwidth}{3cm}{0.5cm}{1.75cm}{.75cm}{.75cm}|
% \end{quote}
% \noindent and the |small| environment to produce a different layout.
% We can also change the fonts, for example:
% \begin{quote}
% |\renewcommand*{\recipetitlefont}{\large\bfseries\sffamily}|\\
% |\renewcommand*{\recipenumberfont}{\large\bfseries\sffamily}|\\
% |\renewcommand*{\recipequantityfont}{\sffamily\bfseries}|\\
% |\renewcommand*{\recipeunitfont}{\sffamily}|\\
% |\renewcommand*{\recipeingredientfont}{\sffamily}|\\
% |\renewcommand*{\recipefreeformfont}{\itshape}|
% \end{quote}
%
% The example below demostrates the |\newstep| and |\newpage| commands, and
% also how to use |\freeform| to create freeform text.  |\freeform| can also
% be used to create rules in the same way as when using |\noalign| in tables.
% In this case, recipe numbering has been turned on, and the |small|
% environment is being used.  Note the label declaration 
% ``Zabaglione''.

% \section{Bugs, Issues, Features, \dots}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item{Method steps can't be split across pages.  This means you can get
% lots of empty white space at the bottom of pages, especially if you have 
% long methods.}
% \item{There may be alignment problems if the recipe fonts differ much in
% height.}
% \item{Formatting doesn't work very well when the ingredient quantity is 
% too wide for its box.}
% \item{There is no support for dual sets of quantities, for example  where two
% systems of measurement are used or for different numbers of servings.  
% You can write \verb|\ingredient{<4 oz>/<100 g>}{butter}|, or use
% |\Ingredient| but I don't think implementing commands such as 
% \verb|\ingredient[1]{oz}[25]{g}{butter}| would be worthwhile.}
% \end{itemize}
% Please e-mail me at \myemailaddress\ if you can help find or solve any 
% problems with this package.
% 
% \section{Change History}
% \begin{small}
% \begin{itemize}
% \item[\sl v0.5]Written---release on CTAN. 
% \item[\sl v0.6]Fixed a couple of vertical alignment problems.
%                Labelling of recipes for |\ref|. |\X| (times) macro.
%                Added different index and contents options, and corrected a
%                bug that sometimes gave the wrong page number.
%                If |recipe|'s |#4| is empty, don't leave a blank line.
%                The step number width can be changed but the recipe number
%                width varies.
% \item[\sl v0.7]Added the |\Ingredient| command for single-argument
%                ingredients.

%
% \subsection{Macros for the method box}
% These macros are to input the method box |\st@pmethodbox|, and are hence
% called at the start and end of the method box, or equivalently the
% \emph{end} and \emph{start} of the ingredient (etc.) macros.
%
%\begin{macro}{\r@cipesloppy}
%  This is a version of \sloppy which doesn't cause problems with the 
%  definition!  (The \LaTeX\ definition has a problem where the empty box
%  detection in |\pr@ingred| fails.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\r@cipesloppy{%
  \tolerance 9999%
  \emergencystretch 3em%
  \hfuzz.5pt%
  \vfuzz.5pt%
%    \end{macrocode}
%  This is not in |\sloppy|:  avoid warning on underfull boxes, which are
%  more common since the columns are very narrow.
%  This value may need to be adjusted...
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \hbadness 1500%   
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\pr@ingred}
%  This macro is called at the start of ingredients (that is, the 
% end of the method box).  It first ends the minipage--box which was started
% in the previous |\p@stingred|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\pr@ingred}{%
  \endminipage\end{lrbox}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Here we compare the width of the |\st@pmethodbox| with zero to determine
% whether anything was entered into it.
% (The idea for determining whether box is empty was from
% Donald Arseneau, |comp.text.tex|.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifdim\wd\st@pmethodbox=0in%
%    \PackageWarning{cuisine}{No text}%  % use for testing
  \else%
%    \PackageWarning{cuisine}{Method text}%
    \DisplaySt@p%
  \fi%
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\p@stingred}
%  And this macro is called at the end of ingredients (the start of the method
%  box).
%
%  This is very odd.  Using |\begin{lrbox}|...|\end{lrbox}| isn't
%  supposed to work properly over an environment definition (and doesn't
%  seem to, either).  So we use |\lrbox|...|\endlrbox|.  But we want to nest
%  a |\minipage| inside this, which fails.  But it does work with 
%  |\begin{lrbox}\minipage|...|\endminipage\end{lrbox}|.
%
%  \centerline{WHY?!}
%
%  What happens, anyway, is that a new minipage--box is started.  Provided
%  the user doesn't put anything other than whitespace and comments between
%  this and the next |\pr@ingred| then the box will be empty.  This is how
%  |\p@stingred| knows whether to display the step or not when called by
%  |\ingr@dient|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\p@stingred}{%
  \fr@eformingfalse%
  \begin{lrbox}{\st@pmethodbox}\minipage[t]{\R@cipeMethodWidth}%

  \ignorespaces%
  \r@cipesloppy%
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\subsection{Step terminating macros}
% These macros call |\pr@ingred| and |\p@stingred|, and 
% can (through |\pr@ingred|) cause the next step to be started.
%
%\begin{macro}{\m@thodend}
%  The |\m@thodend| command (which is |\newstep| in the environment) forces
%  a new step unless there is no method \textbf{and} no ingredient.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\m@thodend}{%
  \endminipage\end{lrbox}%
  \ifdim\wd\st@pmethodbox=0in%
    \ifnum\value{ingr@dnumber}>0%
%    \end{macrocode}
% In this case, the method box is empty so we put something in it to avoid
% problems with alignment.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \savebox{\st@pmethodbox}[\R@cipeMethodWidth]{\mbox{}}%
      \DisplaySt@p%
    \fi%
  \else%  
    \DisplaySt@p%
  \fi%
  \p@stingred%
}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\r@cipen@wpage}
% |\r@cipen@wpage| is a macro which sets |\n@wpagingtrue|---so that the next
% step will appear on the next page---and then forces the next step.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\r@cipen@wpage{\global\n@wpagingtrue\m@thodend}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\fr@eform}
%  |\fr@eform| is for freeform text,  like |\noalign| in tables.
% Again, as for |\m@thodend|, we want to force the new step unless there is 
% no method and no ingredient.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\fr@eform}{%
  \endminipage\end{lrbox}%
  \ifdim\wd\st@pmethodbox=0in%

%\begin{macro}{\ingr@dient}
%  The |\ingr@dient| command takes 3 parameters, one optional.  |#3| is the

%\section{The recipe environment}
%\begin{environment}{recipe}
%This is the main environment in the package.  Its 3 parameters are |#2| is
%the recipe title, |#3| is the number of portions, and |#3| the preparation
%time.  Of course, |#3| and |#4| can be whatever you like but that is one way
%of using them.  |#1| is the label.

%    \end{macrocode}
% These are the things that are put at the start of the recipe environment.
% First, set things up.  Increment the recipe counter (which can be used in
