Context: I previously asked a question about how to represent multi-part recipes using the Recipe schema. The suggestion provided by Jarno van Driel was to represent each part as a separate HowToStep, each of which contains a Recipe, example:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Recipe",
"author": "Alice",
"name": "Example Recipe",
"recipeInstructions": [{
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 1,
"name": "Make Shortcrust pastry",
"text": "Follow the recipe for Shortcrust pastry.",
"item": {
"@type": "Recipe",
"name": "Shortcrust pastry",
"recipeIngredient": [
"1 cup flour",
"1 cup butter",
"1 tbs water"
],
"recipeInstructions": [{
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 1,
"name": "cut",
"text": "cut butter into flour"
}, {
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 2,
"name": "add",
"text": "add water and work into crust"
}, {
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 3,
"name": "form",
"text": "form into oval on pan"
}]
}
}, {
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 2,
"name": "Make Choux pastry",
"text": "Follow the recipe for Choux pastry.",
"item": {
"@type": "Recipe",
"name": "Choux pastry",
"recipeIngredient": [
"1 cup flour",
"1/4 cup butter",
"1 cup water",
"3 eggs"
],
"recipeInstructions": [{
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 1,
"name": "follow",
"text": "follow the standard stove top process"
}, {
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 2,
"name": "place",
"text": "place pastry on top of shortcrust"
}, {
"@type": "HowToStep",
"position": 3,
"name": "bake",
"text": "bake together at 400 degrees for 40 minutes"
}]
}
}]
}
Goal: I would like to represent variations ("choose to do this instead") and optional steps in this schema.
Research: I have reviewed HowToStep, but none of the properties seem to be useful for this to specify optionality or a choice. I have also reviewed ChooseAction, which seems like it could be used to offer choices under the item property of a HowToStep. However, it's not clear to me how to encode choose 1 vs choose n vs optional using these types.
Question: What would be the best way to encode choices and optionality in recipes?
