Default Merging Excel Data Into Word

I'm not sure whether I should post this in the Excel or Word forums. If
there's a better forum, please let me know.

I keep recipes in Excel. Based on a person's weight, I adjust the amount of
the ingredients. That's why I keep those recipes in Excel, so I can
manipulate the data. I have the following column headings in an Excel
worksheet.

Title (Example: Black Bean Mango Salsa)
Amount
Unit
Ingredients
Additional Info
Method (All in one cell. Might be several paragraphs long.)

Here's an example of what I'd like displayed:

Amount: 3.5
Unit: cups
Ingredient: black beans
Additional Info: drained and rinsed

I tried to do a Mail Merge type of deal, but each ingredient ended up on its
own page in the Word document.

I'm probably not approaching this correctly or very efficiently. Could
someone tell me if I'm headed in the right direction or taking the wrong
approach? If my approach is wrong, could you recommend a better way?
