In a lot of ways, quests on online games like RuneScape are very much like recipes. I think you could take a page out of their book. Compare the following two pages:

[https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Dragon\_Slayer](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Dragon_Slayer)[https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Dragon\_Slayer/Quick\_guide](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Dragon_Slayer/Quick_guide)

At the top of each is a snippet that explains that there is a quick guide, or if you're on the quick guide and want the fuller description, that that exists as well. I think this paradigm would work very well for the recipes.

One potential issue here is that you have to essentially maintain two separate articles. But one of them, by definition, is pretty slimmed down, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. I know this is something you specifically said you didn't want, but I wanted to throw it out there as a form of "When this problem came up, here's a solution for it in the wild that seems to actually work well."
