Cookbook — Recipe Page (ingredients · steps · notes)
A polished editorial recipe page for a cookbook library, pairing a serif headline with a warm cream layout. A gradient food-photo hero opens onto meta badges for prep, cook and total time, servings and diet tags, then a two-column body of check-off ingredients beside numbered method steps with inline tips and notes. A sticky action bar saves, prints and shares, and a live counter tracks how many ingredients you have gathered.

<p>Warm the olive oil in a wide, deep pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and saffron and let them sizzle for about a minute, just until the garlic turns pale gold and fragrant.</p>
</div>

<li class="step">
<div class="step-num" aria-hidden="true">2</div>
<div class="step-body">
<p>Tip in the cherry tomatoes and smoked paprika. Cook for 6–8 minutes, pressing the tomatoes gently with a spoon, until their skins blister and burst and the pan smells deeply savoury.</p>
<p class="tip"><span class="tip-icon" aria-hidden="true">💡</span> Resist stirring too early — a little char on the tomato skins is where the flavour lives.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li class="step">
<div class="step-num" aria-hidden="true">3</div>
<div class="step-body">
<p>Stir in the dried orzo and toast for 1 minute, coating every grain in the saffron oil. Pour in the hot vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li class="step">
<div class="step-num" aria-hidden="true">4</div>
<div class="step-body">
<p>Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until the orzo is tender and the liquid has thickened to a glossy, risotto-like sauce. Add a splash more stock if it tightens too much.</p>
<p class="note"><span class="tip-icon" aria-hidden="true">📝</span> Note: orzo keeps absorbing liquid off the heat — pull it a touch looser than you think.</p>
</div>
</li>
<li class="step">
<div class="step-num" aria-hidden="true">5</div>
<div class="step-body">
<p>Off the heat, fold through the lemon zest, lemon juice and most of the basil. Season generously. Spoon into warm bowls, scatter with feta and the reserved basil, and serve at once.</p>

<li><strong>Make it vegan:</strong> skip the feta or swap for a marinated almond ricotta.</li>
<li><strong>Add greens:</strong> stir a few handfuls of baby spinach in with the lemon at the end.</li>

</html>Recipe Page (ingredients · steps · notes)
A full cookbook recipe detail page built with an editorial serif/sans pairing on warm cream surfaces. The hero uses layered CSS radial gradients and food emoji to evoke a glossy food photograph — no images or libraries — beside a serif dish title, a cuisine kicker, a drop-cap intro, and a row of meta badges (prep, cook, total time, servings, difficulty) plus dietary tags.
The two-column body keeps a sticky ingredient checklist on the left and numbered method steps on the right, with inline tip and note callouts. Tick ingredients off and they strike through while a live counter reports how many of the eleven you have gathered; a reset button clears the list. The sticky action bar saves the recipe (toggling its pressed state), prints via the browser dialog, and shares using the Web Share API with a clipboard fallback. A “jump to method” anchor scrolls to the steps.
Everything is keyboard-usable with visible focus rings, aria-live regions for the counter and toast, and a print stylesheet that drops the chrome for a clean recipe card.
Illustrative UI only — recipes & nutrition data are fictional, not dietary advice.
