Now that you’ve hooked your readers with a great (and delicious) title, it’s time to write your introductory paragraph. Use this section to tell your reader exactly what they will be preparing in this post. You can explain what makes you an expert and your personal experiences making this recipe. Anecdotes are great to draw the reader in.
Before listing the ingredients and recipe below, add one last sentence that sums up your recipe. You can also add how many servings it makes and the total preparation time.
This is the place to grab your reader’s attention with the help of stunning, high-quality images of your recipe. You can add an image for each step in your recipe or of the final dish. Add your images here.

Step 2: Add as many steps as you feel your recipe needs.
Format the heading for each step to Heading 3.
