Recipe UI Layout

I like to always evaluate the designs based on 10 Norman Nielsen Usability heuristics:
1. Visibility of system status
2. Match between system and the real world
3. User control and freedom
4. Error prevention
5. Recognition rather than recall
6. Consistency and standards
7. Aesthetics and minimalism
8. Error prevention or recovery
9. Help and documentation
10. Flexibility and efficiency of use: e.g., shortcuts
Also, always remember to cross check Accessibility.
