Tasty Recipes Basic, Plus, Pro, and All Access
When you’re ready to turn up the heat, these paid plans add features like Instacart integration, recipe scaling, and Cook Mode. All Access bundles Tasty Recipes, Tasty Links, Tasty Pins, and Tasty Roundups into one plugin suite. It’s the creator’s kitchen: every plugin, every feature, one price.

A Recipe Card Plugin That Matches Your Site

Tasty Recipes Lite works with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg), Classic Editor, and Elementor, so it fits into however you already write your posts. Add a recipe card to any post or page, choose from 3 recipe card templates, and use the template styler to match your card to your site’s colors and vibe, whether your site is bright and airy or moody and dark.

It looks as good on your readers’ phones as it does on your laptop. There are no confusing settings to dig through and nothing to configure before you publish your first recipe.

Recipe Schema That Gets Your Recipes Found in Google

Recipe schema is the piece of recipe SEO most food bloggers dread. Tasty Recipes Lite is the recipe SEO plugin that builds Schema.org and JSON-LD recipe schema into every recipe card automatically, so Google reads your ingredients, cook time, and ratings without you writing a single line of structured data. It’s the same recipe schema that powers those recipe cards with photos and star ratings you see in Google search results, and it stays current as Google updates its requirements.

Jump to Recipe, Print Recipe, and Other Quick Links

Give readers a Print Recipe link so your recipe prints cleanly without ads or clutter, and a Jump to Recipe link so they skip straight to the ingredients when that’s all they came for. Turn on a Leave a Review link so readers rate your recipe, the same star ratings that show up in Google search results, or a Trust With Google link that lets visitors set your site as a Google Preferred Source.

Upgrade to a paid Tasty Recipes plan, and all four turn into buttons styled to match your site.

Video, Ratings, and Nutrition Facts, Right On the Card

Before someone starts cooking, they want proof it’s worth their time: a video showing it done, other cooks’ ratings, and whether it fits their diet. With Tasty Recipes Lite, your video sits right on the card, so readers never have to leave your post to find it. Star ratings pull straight from the comments you’re already getting without needing to ask readers to rate a recipe twice. And nutrition facts show up automatically once you connect to Nutrifox, so readers know if it fits their diet before they even start cooking.

Choose From Preset Recipe Categories, or Build Your Own

Tasty Recipes Lite comes with preset taxonomies like course, method, cuisine, and diet, ready to use the moment you activate the plugin. Tag a recipe as “dinner,” “baking,” “Italian,” or “vegan,” so that readers can browse by exactly what they’re craving. Or skip the presets and build your own from scratch, whether that’s “5-ingredient meals,” “freezer-friendly,” or whatever system matches how you cook and how your readers search.

AI Scraper Prevention Keeps Your Recipes Yours

Turn on AI Scraper Prevention, and Tasty Recipes Lite blocks compliant AI crawlers, the ones that honor robots.txt, from scraping your recipes and feeding them into someone else’s answer. It’s one toggle, no technical setup, and readers still find your recipe the way they always have. This only blocks the crawlers that scrape your content to train AI models or power AI answers, the ones that don’t send readers back to your site. It doesn’t touch Googlebot or Bingbot, so Search indexing isn’t affected.

Other WP Tasty Plugins

If you’re building out more than recipes, these plugins round out the WP Tasty lineup.

Tasty Links

Tasty Links saves you from logging into every affiliate program and pasting the same link over and over. Link a keyword once, and it’s live everywhere, right from WordPress.

• Applies to every post you’ve already written and every post you write next
• Tags every link nofollow and sponsored automatically
• Connects to the Amazon Creator API, so pasting an Amazon link auto-generates the linked image for you
• Feeds those same Amazon links straight into your Tasty Recipes equipment section

Tasty Pins

Tasty Pins saves you from stuffing your post with extra vertical images just to give Pinterest something to pin.

• Set a Pinterest-only description, separate from your alt text. No more clunky one-line descriptions trying to serve both.
• Add a hidden, Pinterest-only image with one click, no extra image blocks in your post
• Pinterest hover buttons appear automatically on your images. Readers save without hunting for a button.

Tasty Roundups

Tasty Roundups builds and maintains roundup posts for you, without the manual copy and paste.

• Search your own site, or paste in an external link, and Tasty Roundups pulls in the image, title, description, and link automatically
• Every roundup comes with schema built in, so Google shows your roundup with images and rich results instead of a plain link
• Update the source recipe once. It updates everywhere you’ve featured it, so you’re never stuck with broken or outdated roundups
