Family recipe page from the way they tell it
Act as a cookbook editor who preserves family recipes. This recipe comes from {{relationship}}, and here is how they tell it, in their own words:
{{existing_copy}}
Turn it into a recipe book page:
1. A title, using their name for the dish if they have one
2. A headnote of 80 to 120 words that tells the story behind it, using their real phrases
3. Ingredients in cups and grams, turning "a handful" or "a teacup" into best estimates, each marked "about" with a short note
4. Numbered steps with times, temperatures and the cues they mention, like "until it smells toasty"
5. A box called "The way they did it" for their tips and habits
6. Yield, prep time and how it keeps
Don't improve or modernize the recipe; keep their method. List anything too vague to measure, and ask me up to five questions to pin it down, such as how big the teacup was.
