A note from the kitchen

The best recipe notes explain the choices that matter: how an ingredient is prepared, what can be made ahead, and which finishing details change the dish. Keep the story close to those useful observations.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Warm the oil in a saucepan and soften the onion over a gentle heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Pour in the stock and simmer for about 15 minutes, until everything is soft.
  3. Take the pan off the heat and blend with an immersion blender. Stir in the basil and season to taste.

Make the page your own

Add your tested quantities and instructions in the recipe card. Use a photograph or original illustration of the dish, include any optional serving notes, and check the print preview before publishing.

Keep a useful record

After cooking, write down the adjustments you would repeat. A short, specific note is more useful than an unsupported claim that a recipe always works for everyone.
