Personally, I'd find this approach a lot clearer:

rst2html = recipe.product('*.html').ingred('$(1).rst')

@rst2html
def file_html(c):
   # etc

It allows for easier reuse of your decorators and it labels it in a
way that I can understand from the name as opposed to having to
decipher the decorator method chain to work out its intent.
