How to use this prompt
"Ingredients arranged around the bowl in a circle" is the compositional rule that creates the recipe-poster look — without the circular layout Flux scatters ingredients randomly. Listing each ingredient by name — wheat, garlic, tomato, basil — gives the drawing variety; a generic "ingredients" prompt produces three identical tomatoes. "Individual line drawings" tells the model each element should look hand-sketched, not photo-realistic. The overhead view is the recipe-illustration convention; a three-quarter view reads as a food photo. Warm terracotta and olive green is the Mediterranean palette. "No text" is critical because the model fills white space with recipe steps and measurements.
Variations to try
- Swap the pasta for a ramen bowl with scallions, egg, nori and chilli oil in the same style
- Change the palette to warm reds and yellows for a Mexican taco recipe variant
