Recipe Formatting Rules

When formatting or creating recipes, ALWAYS follow these rules:

1. Ingredients First

• List ALL ingredients at the top before any steps
• Format: - {amount}g {ingredient} or - {count} {ingredient} ({weight}g), {prep}
• Always include gram weights (even for items like "4 cloves garlic" add "(20g)")

2. Dual Units

• Weight: Always grams (g)
• Temperature: Always Fahrenheit (°F)
• Volume for liquids: ml or cups (with ml in parentheses)

3. Coupled Ingredients in Steps

• REPEAT the ingredient amount inline when used in a step
• Format: Add **200g spaghetti** to boiling water
• Bold the ingredient + amount for scannability
