How do I get Python to not add excessive spacing when I convert to PDF

Question

I'm trying to get my pdf to look more nice and neet like the first picture and less like the second

This is how I'm trying to get it to look like

This is how it currently looks

myFoodsDF = pd.read_sql(getQuery(), conn)
print(myFoodsDF.info())
print(myFoodsDF)

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
spacing = 1
col_width1 = pdf.w / 4.5
pdf.set_font("Arial", size=15)
row_height = pdf.font_size
pdf.cell(0, row_height*spacing, txt='Foods and Recipies', border=0, align='C', ln=1)

groupedDF = myFoodsDF.groupby(['Food'])['Recipe'].agg(', '.join)
print(groupedDF[0])
for row in groupedDF.iteritems() :
    pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12)
    pdf.multi_cell(col_width1, row_height*spacing, txt=row[0].strip(), border=1, align='L')
    pdf.set_font("Arial", size=10)
    pdf.multi_cell(0, row_height*spacing, txt=row[1].strip(), border=1, align='L')
    pdf.ln(row_height*spacing)
pdf.output("Foods.pdf")
