Boo Recipes

Description

What makes Boo Recipes so impressive is how easy it is to add new recipes, and it creates schema markups automatically.

This plugin uses the Schema.org format that was jointly developed by Google, and other famous search engines, and is the most widely recognized. You can simply add multiple recipes from scratch, no coding needed. It is just as easy as copy, paste, select appropriate meta and publish.

If you are entering a new recipe from scratch, all you need to do is separate the lines of ingredients in ingredients farm and instructions in instructions farm. The plugin will add schema tags to each item itself.

This plugin makes it simple what Google and other search engines need to understand your recipes better. This is how you get your recipe thumbnails in Google search page.
Whatever layout you select recipes added using Boo Recipes are correctly formatted on the front end so that search engines can pull in additional information.

Reviews

Premium plugin expensive for what it is, disappointing!

Too complicated, too restrictive, too much waste of time. Refund requested and made. thank you

Beautiful and easy to use

charmageddon August 7, 2020 1 reply

The use is very simple and clear, so that you can get along very well even without knowledge in CSS. Recipes can be integrated very well into an existing website and the individual contributions of the recipes are well structured.

Great support and easy to use

bludove30 October 21, 2019

I have to admit that I was hesitant to use a recipe plugin that was relatively new. However I had tried several others and found a great deal of limitations. This plugin has been really easy to use, the support is responsive and already since I starting using it there’s an update which means the developer is actively improving. The only drawback that I can see is that there’s an extra step to actually add your recipe to a post and I can’t make the recipe page my home page. Other than that, I like the functionality of the image slider, the ease of which I can edit CSS to really make it unique to the client and all the available settings. It is clean and crisp design that doesn’t feel outdated or clunky. Highly recommend this plugin.

The best of all Recipe free Plugins

Vangelis Moraitis October 5, 2019

Easy to use. Comes with features that in some others are included only in paid versions. I have tried all free Recipe Plugins available so far (Sep 19), at least the ones that I have found having a decent active installation record. This one is BY FAR THE BEST. Some drawbacks: – There is no Print button and the shortcode is not working. – The ICONS set at the top of each recipe is too large

The best recipe plugin

Penny June 21, 2019

I spent a long time researching and trying out recipe plugins for my new blog. Boo Recipes ticked all the boxes with a ton of functionality and easy to use features. Highly recommended if you are looking for a recipe plugin that just works!
