For recipes, the featured image goes in before the text as an image (don’t use the featured image option to the right) – insert an image as taught but once in, use the options on the right to change the size to ‘thumbnail’ and make sure it is centre aligned.

Content for the main/white area goes here after the image.

For line spacing: If you hit return you’ll get a wide line space as above.
If you hit return while also pressing the shift button, you’ll get a small line space as above.
