Can we use construct on an array?

It works great for setting the title, but how can we pass an array of multiple ingredients?

-Pass an array of associative ingredient arrays.

-Loop through the array, calling the setIngredient method for each associative ingredient array.

$ingredients = array(
  array('name'=>'firstname','measure'=>'cups'),
  array('name'=>'secondname','measure'=>'cups')
)

new Recipe($ingredients);

__construct($ings) {
  foreach($ings as $ing) { 
    $this->setIngredient($ing); 
  }
 }
