The names of recipes should be descriptive. Short obtuse names are not recommended since it should be obvious to the observer which recipe is associated with which observing mode. In general, recipe names are read from the file header, the location of which is specified by the instrument specific classes in the ORAC-DR. If required though, the recipe can be specified on the command line although this can cause problems if the user specifies the wrong observation numbers.
