• I used the GitHub search to find a similar requests and didn't find it.
• Checked the tasks tagged issues and verified my feature is not covered

Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.

Complex recipes tend to categorise different components (sometimes with repeated ingredients) in one recipe.

Typical examples might be a protein with a glaze or sauce, garnish for soups or a cake for dessert with a section for the buttercream, another for frosting and a ganache.

Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.

The recipe schema could be augmented to include an array of sections, with each section having a title, ingredients and method, possibly even the prep and active time as well as a make ahead flag. This could be useful for marinades and ganaches to let cool down.

Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision

To be frank, I have not explored mealie enough yet to provide useful info here. I'm hoping to familiarise myself more and in the meantime, hoping this serves as a good point of discussion.
