Chef is an esoteric programming language designed by David Morgan-Mar. It is based on the manipulation of data values in a number of stacks. Each program consists at minimum of the following:
- A title
- A list of variables and their data values
- A list of instructions for stack manipulation
The joke is that the variables tend to be named after basic foodstuffs, the stacks are called 'mixing bowls' and the instructions for manipulating them 'mix', 'stir', etc.. A program, then, reads much like a cooking recipe.
A Hello World example program can be found on the list of Hello World programs in esoteric languages. A Fibonacci example program can be found on the language's website.
