Cooked Pro extends Cooked’s WordPress recipe tools with capabilities for reader participation, sharing, and recipe collections. Cooked includes the recipe builder and publishing tools; Pro adds options for readers to rate, save, submit, and share recipes.

Create and publish recipes

Use the drag-and-drop builder to arrange ingredients and directions with section headings and bulk-add controls. Recipes can include preparation and cooking times, servings, difficulty, notes, nutrition facts, photo galleries, and pictures or video clips in direction steps. Published recipes output Recipe structured data in JSON-LD.

Cooked also includes responsive recipe grids, search with categories and sorting, related recipes, and author pages. Readers can adjust servings, switch ingredient measurements between metric and imperial, use interactive timers, and print recipes. Recipes can include ingredient substitutions and labels for 14 major allergens in FDA and EU categories. Full-screen cook mode, dark mode settings, and print options support the cooking view.

Import recipes from CSV, WP Recipe Maker, or Delicious Recipes. CSV imports support recipe fields including ingredients, substitutions, directions, nutrition data, categories, and tags.
