Step 1
Shot. Zabaglione: weighed ingredients beside the heating pan. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo. Show the action, then a jump cut through the wait. Do not film the full Heat 5 min in real time.
Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Zabaglione. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh egg, egg white, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, mascarpone, kosher salt, olive oil. Zabaglione is cooked in Venice as its own plate, not as a copy of a restaurant menu. Whisk egg and sugar over gentle heat with orange juice until the foam thickens. Marsala is the usual wine. Orange juice does that sweet work here, with no bottle. Amounts are for 4 from foods this library can count.

Voiceover. Add the remaining weighed foods and cook Zabaglione at a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C. Start checking at 38 minutes. Zabaglione is done when the thickest piece yields to a fork and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.

Step 5
Shot. Zabaglione: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.
Voiceover. Check the center of Zabaglione, not the edge. If the cue is not true yet, give it a few more minutes and look again. Opening a lid or an oven door early drops the heat.

Voiceover. Rest Zabaglione for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the salt. Serve it in the way it is eaten in italy, with the sauce or garnish that belongs to it. Film Zabaglione in this shot order and no other: the slice or ladle hitting a warm plate; hands shaping a loaf or patty; cheese melting only after the boil stops; a quiet simmer with small bubbles. Slate words for the editor: twilight, iris, violet, kettle, blister, shimmer, ivory, windowlight, linen, zephyr.

How you know it is done

Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Zabaglione looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Zabaglione turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
