# Sample 2. Step 24: Creating a CookingDescription block

> Assemble the cooking instructions block from a FlexiLayout language expression that joins element rectangles into a non-rectangular OutputRegion.

To create the CookingInstructions block:

1. Click the **FlexiLayout** tab in the program main window.
2. Select the **Blocks** object in the FlexiLayout tree.
3. Select **Blocks → Add Block →** Text in the **FlexiLayout** menu or in the shortcut menu.
4. In the Properties dialog box, specify the name of the block in the Name field: **CookingInstructions**.
5. To describe the location of the block, select Expression.
6. You must describe the location of the block so that it includes only the cooking instructions and the number of servings. The block must not include unwanted text (that is, any text that may precede the word "Serves"). Describe the block as a collection of rectangles around the following elements: **CookingDescription**, **Serves** and **Servings**. This method allows you to specify non-rectangular regions.\
   In the [FlexiLayout language](/flexi-capture/fls/code/general-code) this must be written as follows:\
   `RectArray outputRectArray;`\
   `//initializing the variable with the help of an empty constructor`\
   `outputRectArray = RectArray();`\
   `//adding the rectangles of the hypotheses of three elements`\
   `outputRectArray.Add ( SearchElements.Cooking.Description.CookingInstructions.Rect );`\
   `outputRectArray.Add( SearchElements.Cooking.Description.Serves.Rect );`\
   `outputRectArray.Add( SearchElements.Cooking.Description.Servings.Rect );`\
   `OutputRegion = Region( outputRectArray );`
