I should have used a formatting tag in the manual source to indicate "myrecipe" 
as user input.  Without the formatting, it implies that "myrecipe" is literal 
when it is not.  I guess the example is not technically wrong if the recipe is 
actually named "myrecipe".  I like your added information about setting it in 
the recipe.  I will add that as well.
