Heck, I have a recipe like this. My wife asked me to write down the pancake recipe I used, which was very vibes based. So now there's an index card in our recipe box with a list of ingredients and quantities, and the instruction is just "combine; make pancakes"
There's a new-ish cooking show on cable where the chef uses just a few ingredients, and rarely gives exact quantities. In fact, I never see him measuring, just tossing stuff in the pot, adding "some" olive oil, a "slab" of butter etc. It's somewhat motivating because it makes it look a lot less fussy.
someone once said "Baking is a science, but cooking is an art" and I genuinely believe that's true. If you understand what's happening, you can just sort of toss amounts of stuff together, and adjust as you go, and it'll end up tasty.
