I have this as a recipe -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Date Bread
\index[pies]{Date bread}\index[menu]{Bread!date}\index[cook]{Bake!date bread}\index{Fruit!dates}
/12 ounces stoned dates/\\
/1 teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda/\\
/1 cupful boiling water/\\
/4 ounces margarine/\\
/1 egg/\\
/2 cups flour/\\
/$\frac{1}{2}$ cup sugar/\\
/pinch of salt/

Cut dates into pieces, shake soda over the dates, and pour water over. Add margarine cut into small
pieces and stir well. Break egg into mixture, then add sugar and flour. Divide into two loaf tins
and bake 90 minutes in moderate oven, Regulo 4 (cite:0187).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How can I have the ingredients in a left-most column and the method in a
right-most column please? So that everything below the index entries is
in 2-column mode which ends after the citation. And it can then be
renewed below the next index entries of the next entry, ad infinitum.

This is for an org-mode document that is exported to latex and built
into a pdf file.

Thanks
Sharon.
