Around it, show each ingredient as a small realistic picture with its name and amount. Below, list the steps as numbered blocks with tiny icons, like a pot, a whisk, or an oven. Add a small bar with prep time, cook time, and servings. Use the recipe exactly as written below, and don't change any amounts or steps. Style: [CARD STYLE, e.g. warm vintage kitchen, cream paper]. All text must be crisp and readable. Recipe: [PASTE THE RECIPE HERE]
