The signature moment ## One signature dish photographed, its parts labelled around it (flour, butter, the fold, the bake), each label a short line with a hairline leader; no absolute positioning, build it from a grid or columns around the photo The dish is the diagram. The photograph takes the middle column and the four parts sit two on each side, each a name and a short line on a hairline leader. The leader is the label's bottom border, and the label is padded on the side away from the photograph, so the rule runs right up to its edge; the right-hand labels sit lower than the left. Three columns and no positioning: on a phone the labels stack above and below the photograph. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - Typeface. - Palette. - Links. ### Set by this pattern - The heading. - The photograph.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview One signature dish photographed in the middle of the page with its parts labelled around it, like a diagram in a cookery book. It sits in the features section beside the menus: it sells one thing by explaining it. ### The signature moment: one signature dish photographed, its parts labelled around it (flour, butter, the fold, the bake), each label a short line with a hairline leader; no absolute positioning, build it from a grid or columns around the photo The dish is the diagram.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - Typeface. The base states no font family. - Palette. Your base ground and contrast text; the names try role-label and the leaders role-rule. - Links. An underlined text link. ### What it decides for itself - The heading. The x-large rung. - The photograph. A 4:5 crop in the middle 44%. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Crumb look Part of the Crumb Pattern Set, one café's whole site in one design language: oat ground #f4ecdf, espresso ink #2b1d16, muted cocoa #5c4a3f, milk cards #fbf7f0 on oat hairlines #dccfbf, terracotta #b3462d labels and peach #e8a27c on the espresso slab. Headings are Georgia at 400, body, labels and buttons Helvetica; buttons are espresso pills or underlined links, cards and photographs rounded at 14px. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip. ### Notes - Core blocks only: group, columns, column, image, heading, paragraph, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated. - The root group sets headings and links to currentColor, so every heading, paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only role-bearing text (labels, rules, plates) carries its own chain. ### Included images The copied markup includes WordPress Photo Directory example photographs. The public image URLs keep the examples visible after pasting. Select an image and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files. See image credits (https://patternpaste.com/image-credits/) for the sources and licenses. Pasting an image URL does not import a Media Library attachment. Questions ## Menu dish anatomy: common questions Does Menu dish anatomy need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Menu dish anatomy match my theme? Choose by variation. Labelled dish takes your theme’s palette; Crumb brings its own colours. How many variations does Menu dish anatomy have? 2: Labelled dish and Crumb. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy. Can I use my own images? Yes.

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)How it works First visit to scale What happens at a first appointment, drawn to scale: a bar of the whole appointment split into three solid segments whose widths are each step's share of the minutes, a scale line under it, then the three steps at the same widths, stacking on a tablet and a phone, with a title and a line each, and a closing note with one button. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/first-visit-to-scale.html)Compare Compact comparison rows A mobile-first responsive comparison layout using stacked capability cards: each row pairs a feature title and summary with a side-by-side comparison block, avoiding horizontal table scrolling on small screens. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
