Magazine Recipe Page
A magazine-grade recipe page — hero dish, measured ingredients, numbered steps — where every number on the page came from you and nothing is estimated on your behalf. Six fields.
We made two examples: noodles lifted on chopsticks, and a ladle of chowder coming up steaming, ten ingredients against eight and six steps against five. Both have two badges and no nutrition block, because nothing was measured.
Every number on the page comes from you: there is no nutrition panel, calorie count or difficulty rating unless you supply them, and the badges show only the time and servings you wrote. Ingredients carry the exact quantities given, and every step caption comes out as real, readable words. If you want calories or other figures, measure them and write them in yourself, because a nutrition figure is a health claim.

Magazine Recipe Page
What this makes
A magazine-grade recipe page — hero dish, measured ingredients, numbered steps — where every number on the page came from you and nothing is estimated on your behalf. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. In the fifth, list only the badges you can stand behind — and say plainly if there is no nutrition data, so the page leaves that panel out entirely.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the page.
- Check every number before shipping: each one should be traceable to something you wrote. A figure you do not recognise was invented.
What you swap
- The dish, and its moment
- hand-pulled noodles lifted on chopsticks, chilli oil still running off them
- The name, and one line
- OIL-SPLASH NOODLES — the plainest ingredients, the loudest result
- The ingredients, with quantities
- plain flour 300g · water 150ml · pak choi, a handful · garlic 4 cloves, minced · spring onion 2, sliced · chilli flakes 3 tbsp · light soy 2 tbsp · black vinegar 1 tbsp · salt ½ tsp · oil 3 tbsp
- The steps
- mix and rest the dough · roll and cut into strips · boil with the greens · pile the aromatics on top · pour the smoking oil over · toss and serve
- The badges you actually know
- 25 minutes · serves 2 — and no nutrition panel, because I have not measured it
- The ground
- warm off-white, with the dish's own colours doing the rest
Before it runs
- Real quantities. This layout puts numbers beside every ingredient, and a page of vague handfuls looks worse here than anywhere else.
- A dish with a moment. Lifted, poured, torn, steaming — a bowl sitting still gives the hero shot nothing to do.
- Honesty about what you have not measured. Leaving the nutrition panel off is a design decision, and a better one than filling it.
When to reach for it
When a dish needs a page: a menu insert, a food brand's site, a cookbook spread, a card for a class. Templates in this style ask for a nutrition badge and a difficulty rating, which invites a model to invent calorie counts nobody measured and print them like facts.
What changes
- One editorial recipe page: the dish large and in motion at the centre, an ingredient column with quantities, and a numbered step strip.
- Every number sourced from the fields — weights, times, servings — with no nutrition panel unless you supply the figures.
- Step captions that are either legible or absent, since garbled labels under photographs are the usual failure of this layout.
- A hero shot caught mid-action rather than plated and still, which is what separates a page from a menu photo.
- Quantities set beside their ingredient, so the column can be cooked from rather than admired.
Pairs with
- Museum Object Anatomy PageA museum-style anatomy page for one made object — callouts, materials, and how it is built — under the rule that the page may not know anything you did not tell it. Six fields.
- Phase Curve Knowledge CardA staged-progression knowledge card — a curve divided into phases with an annotated block under each — where the shape of the curve is treated as an assertion rather than a decoration. Six fields.
- Concentric Capability ModelA concentric capability model — one subject, three rings, four sectors — where depth means prerequisite rather than decoration. Six fields.
