The most common recipe-conversion mistake is choosing a plausible substitute and leaving every instruction untouched. The ingredient may be right while the method is now wrong.
Solving one restriction at a time can create a new problem. Multi-diet cooking works better when every replacement is checked against the full set of constraints before the method is rewritten.
A recipe does not have to live on a website. A cookbook page, family recipe card, screenshot, or PDF can become structured recipe text first, then be adapted like any other recipe.
Nutrition belongs to the recipe you will actually cook, not the version you started with. A substitution or serving change can make the original nutrition panel stale immediately.
