+## Deploying Recipe Contracts and Running Transactions Locally (Flow Emulator)
+
+This section explains how to deploy the recipe's contracts to the Flow emulator, run the associated transaction with sample arguments, and verify the results.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before deploying and running the recipe:
+
+1. Install the Flow CLI. You can find installation instructions [here](https://docs.onflow.org/flow-cli/install/).
+2. Ensure the Flow emulator is installed and ready to use with `flow version`.
+
+### Step 1: Start the Flow Emulator
+
+Start the Flow emulator to simulate the blockchain environment locally
+
+```bash
+flow emulator start
+```
+
+### Step 2: Install Dependencies and Deploy Project Contracts
+
+Deploy contracts to the emulator. This will deploy all the contracts specified in the _deployments_ section of `flow.json` whether project contracts or dependencies.
+
+```bash
+flow dependencies install
+flow project deploy --network=emulator                                  
+```
+
+### Step 3: Run the Transaction
+
+Transactions associated with the recipe are located in `./cadence/transactions`. To run a transaction, execute the following command:
+
+```bash
+flow transactions send cadence/transactions/TRANSACTION_NAME.cdc --signer emulator-account
+```
+
+To verify the transaction's execution, check the emulator logs printed during the transaction for confirmation messages. You can add the `--log-level debug` flag to your Flow CLI command for more detailed output during contract deployment or transaction execution.
