coctab

Ingredient and its amount.

A recipe may contain one or more ingredients. You should mark every ingredient with the ingredient class. This property can contain both plain text and HTML code.

The property can contain the following nested properties:

• name — The product name (this property isn't provided by the hRecipe standard).

• type and value — The measurement unit and the number of units.

• amount — The amount in any format (this property is not provided by the hRecipe standard). Used instead of type and value.

instructions

Instructions for cooking.

A recipe can contain only one element of the instructions class. This property can contain both plain text and HTML code.

We recommend that you include in this property only the instructions themselves, without the heading (for example, “Cooking method”).

Individual steps in the instruction can be marked with the instruction class. The nested instruction isn't provided by the hRecipe standard. It is added by Yandex as an extension.

Example:

<ul class="instructions">
  <li class="instruction"> Cut the chicken in pieces, put it in the baking tray,
      add salt, pepper and spices to your taste.</li>
  <li class="instruction">Pour the beer on the chicken, put it in the oven.</li>
  <li class="instruction">Roast in at 180 degrees for 40—45 minutes.</li>
</ul>

You can place one or more photo properties (as well as the result-photo properties) in the instructions property.

Example:

<ul class="instructions">
  <li>Cut the chicken in pieces, put it in the baking tray,
      add salt, pepper and spices to your taste.<br>
      <img class="photo" src="images/step1.jpg" alt="Chicken cut into pieces">
      </img>
  </li>
  <li>Pour the beer on the chicken, put it in the oven.<br>
      <img class="photo" src="images/step2.jpg" alt="Chicken in beer">
      </img>
  </li>
  <li>Roast in at 180 degrees for 40—45 minutes.<br>
      <img class="photo result-photo"

</ul>

photo and result-photo

The photo of a prepared dish or of a cooking stage. We recommend that you specify these fields to form a better snippet.

A recipe can contain several elements of the photo class. The photo property can be subordinate to the hrecipe root class, or to the instructions property. The property contains the value of the src attribute of the img HTML element.

If the recipe contains one or more elements of the photo class, one of them (containing the prepared dish photo) should be additionally marked with the result-photo class. The result-photo property isn't provided by the hRecipe standard. It is added by Yandex as an extension.
