I see a lot of references to the "recipe " Usually I am dealing with feed through machinery and then I am positioning various stations along the travel as well as arming certain motors or actuators that act upon the moving work piece. ( think Tenon machine!) What I call a recipe is the file I create which saves all these setting per part to be run. So an operator selects that he is going to run part "X " then he executes that recipe and the machine does a setup. Everything that is required for that operation is positioned and armed to run. In PLC apps I allow him to do a selection then I "Move " all the values to the proper register etc. Now, Many of the discussions and references I see on the forum and other places seem to refer to something much different.

'Recipe ' in the HMI does the same... you pre-define the data & the destination. When the recipe is selected, the data is moved to the destination registers.
You are doing the same with the MOV in the PLC.
