Tasty Recipes review
A recipe card plugin from WP Tasty with a free Lite edition since 2025. Paid plans all include the same features and differ mainly in the number of sites.
Best for: Bloggers who want a simple, opinionated card and plan to use the rest of the WP Tasty suite for links, pins and round-ups.
Strengths / Weaknesses
Strengths
- Every paid plan includes the full feature set.
- JSON-LD and Guided Recipes markup are free in the Lite edition.
- Affiliate links on cards are free.
- Imports from 11 other recipe plugins.
Weaknesses
- No built-in nutrition calculator; it relies on Nutrifox, a separate subscription.
- Listed prices were introductory and renew $50 higher.
- No visitor submissions, collections or meal planner listed.
- The free edition is new, so it has only a handful of ratings.
