Rules of Normalization for Recipes
First Normal Form:
There are no ingredients or materials used in the procedure that are not listed up front; all things listed up front are used in the procedure. All processes are in the correct order (preheat oven before starting to mix, mix before putting finished mixture in oven, et cetera).
Second Normal Form (only for procedures with multiple steps happening at the same time; single-procedure recipes are automatically in 2NF):
Each process is listed in the correct procedure (for example, breaking the eggs belongs with putting the eggs in the bowl, rather than with greasing the pans or turning on the oven; the steps for making the filling are all together, separate from the other steps).
Third Normal Form:
Everything is broken down into distinct sections or procedures, and optimized for speed and ease.

I am always delighted when someone responds with giggles to a bit of geek humor.
