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.
