A hidden gem among recipe plugins – So glad I found Cooked!
I have been searching for a recipe plugin for a while and was not satisfied with the ones I found—you know, the big ones that everybody uses and that make every recipe blog look the same. There must be at least one more plugin out there for me; it’s just that I haven’t found it yet, so I set out for yet another search. And then suddenly it appeared: Cooked. I went to the Plugins Review and Support page to see what others had to say, and I was a bit puzzled. There was something odd about the timeline and what people wrote. A lot of the older stuff was unhappy, and the more recent ones, on the other hand, were very happy. I went on to check out the live preview page of Cooked (I love it when there is one). Here, I could play around and try it out. I started creating a recipe, and as soon as I saw how it worked, I knew this was the plugin for me! It works the same way as Lego, i.e., you build up the template for a recipe with shortcodes! This means I can decide in what order things should appear in the recipe. (Now that I’ve used the plugin for a while, I’ve changed the template a few times, and with the click of a button, I can make the new template reflect on the already created recipes. Brilliant!) It’s possible to add headings to the ingredient and instructions lists, and it’s easy to move them around with drag-and-drop to reorder them if needed. I didn’t know it then, but I later learned that this lovely gem of a plugin had been abandoned and later rescued by the current developer. That explained my confusion when reading the reviews and support tickets earlier. I love this plugin. The support is rapid and invaluable if I need help or have questions. I have the Pro version because I wanted to show my support for this plugin. It has a charming price, but if that’s not in your budget, you’ll find that the free version already has a lot of functionality.

Good for Simple Blogs, But Not for Power Users
This plugin is okay, but it’s not the easiest to use if you have lots of recipes to manage. You can’t create recipes directly from your posts in Gutenberg or Classic Editor. Instead, you have to use the plugin’s custom post type, which is a bit of a hassle. Here’s how it works: you create a recipe in the plugin and go through all creating post tasks, then copy a shortcode, and paste it into your blog post. After that, you still have to go through all the usual post setup again—like adding a title, featured image, tags, writer and so on. If you only plan to add a few recipes to your blog, it’s fine. But if you’re running a recipe-heavy site, this workflow gets tedious fast. So if you have food blog, there are better options.
