Hello. You have option to create tags for course, cuisine etc. using the Tag Manager feature. i.e. – when you create or edit a recipe using the plugin you’ll see a “Tag Manger” button below where you enter ingredients. Click this to open tag manager to add tags for the recipe.
Is this what you’re referring to? Other than that you handle post tags through WordPress for recipe categories. Some themes provide the capability to create recipe categories as well. I don’t know of any recipe plugin that does this.
