#Creating a cooking recipe

I am trying to write a cooking receipe with Typst.

= Slow-Cooker Brisket
#figure(
    table(
        align: (auto, auto, left, auto),
        columns: (auto, auto, auto, auto),
        [*Ingredient*], [*Amount*], [*Unit*], [*Optional?*],
        [Bourbon], [0.25], [cups], [False],
        [Dijon Mustard], [2], [tablespoons], [False],
        [Chilli Powder], [1], [tablespoons], [False],
        [Vegetable Oil], [1], [tablespoons], [True],
    ),
)

I want to write code so that I don't have to write the same preamble over and over. However the code below fails on one_ingredient, saying unexpected comma.

#let one_ingredient(str_ingredient, float_amount, str_unit, bool_isoptional) = {
    [#str_ingredient], [#float_amount], [#str_unit], [#bool_isoptional],
}

#let onerecipe(ingredient_array) = {
    figure(
        table(
            align: (auto, auto, left, auto),
            columns: (auto, auto, auto, auto),
            [*Ingredient*], [*Amount*], [*Unit*], [*Optional?*],
            for each_ingredient in ingredient_array {
                one_ingredient(each_ingredient.at(0), each_ingredient.at(1), each_ingredient.at(2), each_ingredient.at(3))
            }
        )
    )
}

= Slow-Cooker Brisket
onerecipe((("Bourbon", 0.25, "cups", False), ("Dijon Mustard", 2, "tablespoons", False), ("Chilli Powder", 1, "tablespoons", False), ("Vegetable Oil", 1, "tablespoons", True)))

Following that I rewrote my code eliminating one_ingredient but still got the same error.

#let onerecipe(ingredient_array) = {
    figure(
        table(
            align: (auto, auto, left, auto),
            columns: (auto, auto, auto, auto),
            [*Ingredient*], [*Amount*], [*Unit*], [*Optional?*],
            for each_ingredient in ingredient_array {
                [each_ingredient.at(0)], [each_ingredient.at(1)], [each_ingredient.at(2)], [each_ingredient.at(3))]
            }
        )
    )
}

How should I fix my code?

What this does is construct one array in the for loop then deconstruct it into arguments to table with the ..

Thank you so much! One extra question: how do you override global align so that "Unit" is centered like the other items in the same row?

align(center)[*Unit*] ?
