Where there are identifiable distinct types that are commonly made, that makes sense. In many cases though, you can vary almost any of the ingredients, which results in an exponential number of possible recipes. It'd make more sense (to me) to describe it in a prose style instead of a recipe style, saying things like "in some areas walnuts or chestnuts are commonly added on top", or "a number of other ingredients, including orange peel, nutmeg, coffee grinds, ... are sometimes added" (examples made up on the spot).
I'll agree, but I think the prose makes more sense after a basic recipe for illustrative purposes.
