How Do You Store Your Recipes?

Are the recipe cards useful to you?

Since returning to Substack, I have noticed that they have introduced a recipe card template to set up, similar to how you see recipes on WordPress websites.

Example of the ‘Jump to Recipe’ Button.

Who Uses Them and How?

I’ve started to include them at the bottom of my recipe posts. Although they are not quite as efficient as some of the recipe card plugins you can use on a WordPress website, I do find them useful, but a bit time consuming to complete when publishing my posts.

You will find all my recipes in the RECIPES tab on the navigation bar. Each post will have step by step instructions and a completed recipe card at the bottom.

Print and Save

Print and saved icons

Some posts will have a ‘Jump to Recipe’ button at the top if you want to skip the method, and each recipe card has the option to print and save using the little icons.

If you are a food writer and are a member of the Food Writers’ Forum, I have written a post showing you how to add a 'Jump to Recipe' button at the top of your post.

Do You Use Them?

How do you store the recipe that you find on the internet?

I had thought about doing this as a survey, but it’s always interesting to see other people’s views on things.

Please leave a comment below with your thoughts on any of the following points. It will really help me and other food writers make our posts and recipes as efficient as possible for you to use.

• Do you Jump Straight to the recipe card, especially if there is a ‘Jump To Recipe’ button?

• Do you print the recipe to keep in a folder?

• Do you copy and paste the recipe into your own digital folder?

• Do you cook/bake simply by viewing the recipe from your phone/laptop/tablet?

• Do you pull the recipe into a recipe app and view it that way?

• Do you not find them useful at all?

• Other (please specify)

Happy Baking. Have a great weekend ahead.
