Cooked Pro for WordPress Recipe Sites

Publish recipes and organize a growing collection

Cooked offers WordPress tools to create, show and manage recipes. Its drag-and-drop builder arranges ingredients and directions, with section headings and bulk-add controls. Add preparation and cooking times, servings, difficulty, notes, nutrition facts and galleries, or attach pictures and video clips to direction steps. Published recipes include Recipe structured data in JSON-LD.

When users need to find a particular recipe, they can use text search, categories and sorting. Responsive recipe grids, related recipes and author pages give a collection more ways to browse.

Give readers tools for cooking

Readers can adjust servings and switch ingredient measurements between metric and imperial. Recipes can include substitutions and labels for 14 major allergens, based on FDA and EU categories. Interactive timers, printable recipe views and full-screen cook mode support the cooking process; full-screen mode keeps the screen awake. Dark Mode can be set to Off, On or Auto, and print options can include the site logo.

Bring an existing recipe library into Cooked

Import recipes from CSV, WP Recipe Maker or Delicious Recipes. CSV imports can include ingredients, substitutions, directions, nutrition data, categories and tags. Cooked also works with Elementor and Divi and works with WPML and Polylang.

Cooked Pro features for reader participation

For a website that accepts contributions, Cooked Pro lets visitors submit recipes from the front end. Submissions can go through approval, with email alerts. Readers can also rate recipes with stars or thumbs, including guests, create user profiles and save favorites.

Pro includes recipe sharing to Facebook, X / Twitter, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Viber, BigOven and email. It also adds cuisines, cooking methods, diets and tags for organizing recipes; automatic nutrition via Edamam; and Modern Grid, Fitness, Full-Width and Compact layouts with Load More or infinite scroll. Ingredient links and next and previous recipe navigation are included.

Customization and development

Developers can tailor Cooked with its 167 actions and filters, REST API and WP-CLI commands. Recipe templates can also be edited to control how recipe information appears.
