Differentiate Recipes from Meal/Food functionality

There is very little difference in the end result for users who create a Recipe vs a Food, making the separation sort of useless at the moment. Here are ways I’d love to use Recipe functionality:
- Save a recipe’s ingredients AND directions
- Edit the ingredient list (and directions) from the food log, not just the More settings
- Quickly account for substitutions or variations before logging it, rather than having to either create a new recipe or manually trade things out from the log itself
- Upload a recipe from a photo or link, then have the system “translate” that into the app, then let me edit for clarity or accuracy
