Overview

The recipe blog post page combines visual storytelling with practical utility. A full-width hero image sets the mood, followed by a two-column layout that pairs ingredients with step-by-step instructions. Nutritional info and tags sit in a sidebar card.

Key Sections

Hero Image

Full-width, rounded, with optional overlay gradient and recipe title overlaid.

Ingredients Grid

Checkbox-style list in a 2-column responsive grid with quantities.

Instructions

Numbered steps with bold action verbs and optional inline images.

Nutrition Card

Sidebar or inline card with calories, macros, and serving info.

Color & Typography

Use violet #8B5CF6 for interactive elements and section headers. Pink #F472B6 for accents and hover states. Dark background #0A0612 keeps focus on food photography.

💡 Tip

Add a “Jump to Recipe” button at the top for SEO and user convenience. Google rewards this with recipe rich results.
