Examples:

Hello, World!:

Each ingredient holds ASCII-code of one message character; for convenience their names start with the letters they hold. The codes are placed in the bowl in reverse-printing order. Then Liquify (old spelling of the command is used to make the program run in the interpreter) makes all elements of the bowl liquid (i.e. states that they should be printed as characters). Finally, the contents of the bowl is moved to the baking dish, and Serves 1 prints its contents.

Lobsters with Fruit and Nuts.

Factorial:

This example uses iterative factorial definition. Ingredients measured in ml are liquid (characters), the ones measured in g are dry (numbers).

The program consists of two loops. First one, chop ... until choped, calculates the factorials in ascending order and pushes elements to be printed in the first bowl, characters and numbers alike. Smaller values which should be printed first end up at the bottom of the stack. This is cured by using the second bowl and the second loop, mash ... until mashed, which moves elements from the first bowl to the second one, so that they get to be printed in correct order.

Unfortunately, the current version of the interpreter processes liquid ingredients in a wrong way — neither liquid units of measurement, nor the command luquify modify their state, so they are printed as dry. Thus, the program output looks as follows:

0 33 32 61 32 1 10 1 33 32 61 32 1 10 2 33 32 61 32 2 10 3 33 32 61 32 6 10 4 33 32 61 32 24 10 5 33 32 61 32 120 10 6 33 32 61 32 720 10 7 33 32 61 32 5040 10 8 33 32 61 32 40320 10 9 33 32 61 32 362880 10 10 33 32 61 32 3628800 10 11 33 32 61 32 39916800 10 12 33 32 61 32 479001600 10 13 33 32 61 32 6227020800 10 14 33 32 61 32 87178291200 10 15 33 32 61 32 1307674368000 10 16 33 32 61 32 20922789888000 10

Fibonacci numbers:

This example uses iterative calculation of Fibonacci numbers. Last and one-before-last calculated numbers are stored in ingredients fib1 and fib2, respectively. In one iteration of loop chop ... until choped the next number is calculated, and the previous one is written to the stack for being printed later. Second loop mash ... until mashed pours the values from first bowl into second one, so that they can be printed in correct (increasing) order.

This version of the interpreter doesn’t allow to hold liquid and dry ingredients on one stack, and thus disallows printing both numbers and characters in one message. This punctuation has been dropped from the output; the result looks as follows:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987
