The signature moment ## The courses cross the page in a single winding line The dish groups alternate between the left and right sides of the same continuous path. A rule runs under each course and turns up at alternate edges; no enclosing cards interrupt the line. On a phone, the course order remains one through four. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme The Core payload uses the theme’s base and contrast chains, currentColor rules, its typefaces and heading ladder. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, or 3:1 at large display sizes; the rendered checks measure the actual pairs. Headings and links follow the root painter. The inherited Core payload is the theme route for this composition.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview Four tasting courses follow a winding rule across the page, each with an oversized index, a dish name and its ingredients. A single price per person and a booking link close the menu. ### The signature moment: the courses cross the page in a single winding line The dish groups alternate between the left and right sides of the same continuous path.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme The Core payload uses the theme’s base and contrast chains, currentColor rules, its typefaces and heading ladder. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, or 3:1 at large display sizes; the rendered checks measure the actual pairs. Headings and links follow the root painter. The inherited Core payload is the theme route for this composition. ### Display type Course indices use clamp(3rem, 5vw, 5rem). The course names use the theme’s large heading rung, the menu title x-large, and ingredient descriptions medium. Course labels use 15px. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Styled look Blush ground #F2DDD8, espresso ink #322720 and warm brown accent #654839; Georgia course names over Arial ingredients and an underlined brown booking link. Every button is deliberately filled or underlined, with its own padding. The root states a 400 body weight. Questions ## Menu tasting route: common questions Does Menu tasting route need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Menu tasting route match my theme? Choose by variation. Winding courses takes your theme’s palette; Blush and espresso brings its own colours. How many variations does Menu tasting route have? 2: Winding courses and Blush and espresso. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy. Is Menu tasting route free? It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one. Which WordPress version does it need? Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. 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. 13KB of core-block markup, 7 blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

The name, the biography and the two neighbours are dynamic core blocks, so they are the post's own and the preview here is sample data; the portrait is an ordinary image block you swap for your author's own. The previous and next links only resolve on a single post template, which is where this pattern belongs. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/article-footer.html)Hero Hero aperture An opening section on your theme's own paper: a tracked line, a display headline, one short paragraph on a reading measure, and then a picture that stops short of the edge on every side. 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)Call to action Callout response clock A call-out section where the day is drawn to scale: a label, heading and a call button over one framed bar of three segments whose widths are their hours, 8am to 6pm, 6pm to midnight and midnight to 8am. Each segment carries its hours, how long we take to arrive at display size and the call-out fee under a hairline, and one line under the bar gives the hourly rate after that. On a phone the bar stacks into three rows that still name their hours. States no colour and no font of its own.
