This plugin makes it simple to add the extra markup Google and other search engines need to better understand your recipes. Most importantly, this is how you get those thumbnails to show up next to your recipes in Google. When recipes are entered using Recipe Schema, it correctly formats the recipe when it is displayed so that search engines can pull in additional information. There are a number of different formats for doing this. This plugin use the <a href="http://schema.org/Recipe" rel="nofollow ugc">Schema.org</a> format that was jointly created by Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo, and is the most widely recognized.
There are a number of different WordPress Plugins for doing this, however what makes Recipe Schema so awesome is how easy it is to add recipes. Quickly add recipe from existing posts by selecting the recipe, and then highlighting and tagging the different parts. No retyping needed! It is just as easy to add recipes from other website. Simply copy, paste, highlight and tag! If you are entering a new recipe from scratch, the free-form entry for directions and ingredients meant that you don’t have to worry about getting the right info into the right field.

Here is how to do it:

<li>Click on Posts on the left hand side of the WordPress Admin menu</li>
<li>Select Edit on an existing Post you would like to insert a Recipe into</li>
<li>Scroll down the page til you see the Recipe Schema box</li>
<li>Begin typing the title of the Recipe you would. The Title will autocomplete based upon the Recipes which have been entered. Select the Recipe you would like to insert.</li>
<li>Repeat if you would like to add additional Recipes.</li>
<li>The Featured Image for the Recipe will be shown next it. If there is nothing there, or if you want to change it, click Change Image and select an image.</li>
</ol>
By default all of the selected Recipes get added to the end of the Post. If you would like the recipes to be in the middle of the Post, you can use a shortcode. Add the shortcode [recipes] into the Post where you would like the Recipes to appear.
