My flowgraphs are not worth showing yet. Laying out graphs properly without human intervention is ... very hard, and this is a fascinating field with a lot of ongoing research.

I can however point you to some designs I generated using dall-e (non-sensical and with a perplexing flow, but the illustration are a good start towards something gorgeous): https://imgur.com/a/1NN8DaU

There are also other ways to use LLMs to explore culinary arts, for instance these "equations" pertaining to caramel:

    1. Creaminess (creamy texture in caramel)
    Creaminess ↑ ⇔ Cream ↑ + Butter ↑ + Milk ↑
    Creaminess ↓ ⇔ Sugar ↑ (hard caramel) + Water ↑ (syrup texture)
    
    2. Hardness (firmness or brittleness of the caramel)
    Hardness ↑ ⇔ Cooking temperature ↑ + Sugar ↑
    Hardness ↓ ⇔ Butter ↑ + Cream ↑ + Shorter cooking time ↓
    
    3. Chewiness (soft, stretchy caramel)
    Chewiness ↑ ⇔ Butter ↑ + Cream ↑ + Glucose syrup ↑
    Chewiness ↓ ⇔ Cooking temperature ↑ + Sugar ↑
    
    4. Stickiness (caramel that adheres to teeth or surfaces)
    Stickiness ↑ ⇔ Sugar ↑ + Longer cooking time ↑
    Stickiness ↓ ⇔ Butter ↑ + Cream ↑ + Shorter cooking time ↓
    
    5. Color (darker caramel)
    Color ↑ (darker) ⇔ Cooking temperature ↑ + Longer cooking time ↑
    Color ↓ (lighter) ⇔ Lower temperature ↓ + Shorter cooking time ↓
    
    6. Sweetness (perceived sugar taste)
    Sweetness ↑ ⇔ Sugar ↑ + Cooking time (slightly shorter) ↓
    Sweetness ↓ ⇔ Butter ↑ + Salt ↑ + Longer cooking time ↑ (more bitterness)
    
    7. Bitterness (burnt or deeper flavor)
    Bitterness ↑ ⇔ Cooking temperature ↑ + Longer cooking time ↑
    Bitterness ↓ ⇔ Lower temperature ↓ + Shorter cooking time ↓

It's difficult to get this kind of info without having a lot of experience in a specific culinary space. I've never cooked caramel seriously so I can't tell if this is right (looks like though), but I have started to master ice cream production this summer, and the set of equations ChatGPT generated was on point, so I guess I can trust those too.
