Would love the ability to add 'recipes' to posts.

    For those of us who are not very savvy with HTML and post recipes often, I think it would be great if the editor had an option for adding recipes. It could pop up much like the ‘contact form’ window does to let you edit it, and allow you to fill in things like prep time, servings, ingredients, instructions, maybe a picture & extra notes, etc. It would also be amazing if there was an option to print just the recipe.

    I realize there are other ways to achieve the look of a recipe, through ordered lists and such, but I personally would love it if all of my recipes had the same uniform look and were able to be printed easily by my readers & family just by pressing a small button or link above/below/beside the recipe box (without having to print the whole page, or copy & paste it into a blank document to print it, etc).

    Please, please, please consider this as a new feature for posts! I’m sure a lot of people would be very appreciative of something like this, and just from the amount of food related posts I have seen on WordPress in my short time here, I think it would be used by many people!

    Thanks for your time. :)

    Howdy,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll note it on the list!

    We’ve added an option for formatting recipes. It’s done with a shortcode and not a function like the contact form, but I think you’ll find the shortcode pretty easy to use!

    Check out this help page for all the details:
