What it does
Recipe content has its own needs. Readers want to see ingredients, the tools they will need and clear steps, and a generic blog theme rarely lays that out well. This theme includes interactive recipe modules that split each recipe into step-by-step instructions, an equipment list and ingredient sections, so visitors can follow along while they cook. The design is responsive and retina-ready, which means recipe pages and food photos adapt to desktops, tablets and phones.
The homepage is built from blocks you arrange with a drag-and-drop builder, and a live preview shows changes as you make them. There are 46 blocks to choose from, including post blocks, sliders, Instagram feeds, subscription forms, category blocks and WooCommerce widgets. The theme works with WooCommerce if you want to sell cookbooks, kitchen products or meal plans, and with WPML if you publish in more than one language. It is built on the Bootstrap framework.
Best for
- Personal food blogs and home cooking sites
