Agree 90%. For repeatability, yes. You can change recipes if you know
what you are doing. Certain functions like rising yeast, reactions from
baking powder, adding an acid or salt are required.

Other portions can be vried and, of course, the results will be bit
different, be that better or worse. That is subjective. If you add or
subtract an egg, increase the butter, change the flavoring, sprinkle on
a topping are easily changed. You can add ingredients in some cases, or
leave them out. Apples, raisins, cheese come to mind.

Sort of like, do you have the recipe for pizza?
