What you mean? The latter one displays just fine. Just add some styles and you'll have a similar table as shown on the picture.

 

You could also use another table for the ingredients, like:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Sushi</th>
<th colspan="2">Ingredients</th>
</tr>

<?php foreach($sushi as $k=>$v):?>
<tr>
	<td><?php echo $k?></td>
	<td>
		<table border="1" width="100%">
		<?php foreach($v as $k2=>$v2):?>
			<tr>
				<td><?php echo $k2; ?></td>
				<td><?php echo $v2; ?></td>
			</tr>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>

</table>

 

But anyhow, you still cant avoid from styling the table if you want one similar to the picture.

I think the problem you may be having is that the first row needs to include the type, but the subsequent ones do not. So, you need some conditional logic to handle the first row of each recipe differently than the rest.

<?php
    $sushi = array(
        'Fresh Tuna Sushi' => array ( 
            'Fresh Tuna Fillet' => '8 ounces',
            'Sushi Rice'        => '2 cups',
            'Wasabi Paste'      => '2 tablespoons' 
        ),
        'Shrimp Sushi' => array ( 
            'Large Shrimps'   => '10 pieces', 
            'Vinegar'         => '2 tablespoons', 
            'Sushi Rice'      => '2 cups', 
            'Wasabi Paste'    => '2 tablespoons',
        ),
        'Nori Crab Sushi' => array ( 
            'Nori Seaweeds'         => '4 sheets', 
            'Crabmeat'              => '8 ounces', 
            'Cream Cheese'          => '8 ounces', 
            'Worcestershire Sauce'  => '3/4 teaspoon', 
            'Garlic Salt'           => '1/4 teaspoon'
        ),
        'Vegetarian Sushi' => array ( 
            'Rice Vinegar'      => '1/2 cup', 
            'Sesame Oil'        => '2 tablespoons', 
            'Nori Seaweeds'     => '4 sheets', 
            'Sushi Rice'        => '2 cups', 
            'Cucumber Strips'   => '1 cup',
            'Sweet Potatoes'    => '1 cup', 
            'Sesame Seeds'      => '2 tablespoon'
        ),
        'California Roll Sushi' => array ( 
            'Sushi Rice'       => '1 cup', 
            'Nori Seaweeds'    => '8 sheets', 
            'Sesame Seeds'     => '2 tablespoons', 
            'Crabmeat'         => '1/2 cup', 
            'Mayonnaise'       => '3 tablespoons', 
            'Avocado'          => '1 piece', 
            'Cucumber Strips'  => '1/2 cup'
        )
    );

    $recipe_output = "";
    foreach ($sushi as $recipe => $ingredientsAry)
    {
        $ingredientCount = count($ingredientsAry);
        $typeCell = "<td rowspan='{$ingredientCount}'>{$recipe}</td>\n";
        $first = true;
        foreach($ingredientsAry as $ingredient => $amount)
        {
            $recipie_output .= "<tr>\n";
            if($typeCell != false)
            {
                $recipe_output .= $typeCell;
                $typeCell = false;
            }
            $recipe_output .= "<td>{$ingredient}</td>\n";
            $recipe_output .= "<td>{$amount}</td>\n";
            $recipe_output .= "</tr>\n";
        }
    }

Similar to what Psycho just posted above -

 

		<table border="1">
		<tr><th>Sushi</th><th colspan="2">Ingredients</th></tr>
		<?php
		// each row needs a <tr></tr>
		// the first row under each type is a complete row
		// the 2nd - nth row under each type do not have any <td></td> for the 1st column, but need to start with a <tr>
		foreach ($sushi as $type => $ingredients){
			echo "<tr><td rowspan=" . count($ingredients) . ">$type</td>"; // start the first row
			$first = true;
			foreach ($ingredients as $name => $meas){
				if(!$first) echo "<tr>"; // start the 2nd - nth row under each type
				$first = false;
				echo "<td>$name</td><td>$meas</td></tr>"; // the rest of each row
			}
		}
		?>
	</table>

LOL, I saw you used a flag variable ($first) and I was going to comment that I originally took that approach but made a last minute change in my code and instead used a temp variable to hold the content of the first cell (which I cleared after the first iteration of each type). Then I noticed that I still had the line $first = true; in my code which no longer had any purpose.

 

Too funny. Not only did we go with the same approach, but we used the same exact variable name/value combination. As they say, great minds think alike.
