I see your point now. For me it doesn’t really read like it, because you have it in another cell of the table which gives it too little weight as a possible context for dereferencing the pronoun, while also having a valid noun preceding the pronoun begging to become referenced by it.
Except “one-starring the original recipe because the modified recipe didn’t work out”
Because otherwise it looks very reasonable instead of very not reasonable

"It” refers to the substitution, not the recipe.
