Variations
If you make this Vegan with tofu, cut the tofu into small pieces because they swell. Also, you may find that the tofu tastes better when marinated ahead of time. Add a little bit of olive oil to make up for the lack of fat in the Vegan recipe.

Number of servings (yield): 4

First, thanks, David, for creating this plugin. Of the three I tested, this one seemed the most straightforward and user-friendly of the lot.
Second, since this page has an example of what I mean, I am posting my question here: how would you suggest we format the page so that the post title and the plugin title (currently within an H2 tag named fn) are not duplicated? (See Blue Corn Pozole twice above.)
Members of my book group would like to add potluck recipes to our website, so using this along with an indexing page would be the plan. For that to work, the post title should be the recipe name.
Perhaps this was a deliberate choice? I can’t imagine that this is necessary for Google search though.
Your suggestion would be great.
Tammi,
It’s better SEO to have the post title and the recipe name be different, and I should change that on this page. Which I just did.
Also, the html element depends on the theme, but it’s best practice to encode a single page display using the title as an h1 element. This is how it’s done on this page in fact.
Thanks for using hRecipe!
I’m with Tammi on this one, I only just installed hrecipe so I’m probably using it all wrong but I like the post having the proper title for easier recipe browsing so I simply end up having to remove the h2 title from the recipe itself and just leave the h1 post title visible.
Not that much of a hassle really, I suppose I can remove the “required title” and h2 insertion if you don’t object..
Paul, the name is required by the microformat markup (fn attribute): http://microformats.org/wiki/hrecipe#fn
I’m really hesitant to remove it or even make it an option, as it renders the point of the plugin moot.
Perhaps there is another way?
Hi Dave,
Can you adjust quantities of a recipe on a fly with this plugin?
What I mean by this is the following:
Say I enter in this original recipe with directions which yields 8 servings
Potato Salad
2 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
4 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons chopped white onion
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced celery
1 teaspoon minced pimento
1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
If I needed to adjust this recipe for 38 people I’d like to be able type in “38″ into servings and the recipe would “calculate” on the fly to automatically adjust the quantities.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your time,
Upendra
Adjusting serving sizes can’t be done at the moment.
Hi Dave,
Any progress on this “Can you adjust quantities of a recipe on a fly with this plugin?” If not what would it take to get this going and do you know how long it would take for development?
Thank you,
Upendra
Upendra, thanks for your continued interest in hrecipe.
At the moment, I’m keeping hrecipe maintained and up to date with the current releases of WordPress, but due to funding constraints, I have no plans to extend its functionality any further.
Thanks again, and if you or anyone you know would be interested in sponsoring commercial development, I am definitely open.
Finally a SEO plugin for recipe sites! I am definately going to give it a try!
Best, Frederik
I am building blogmylunch.com and looking for a convenient recipe tool. I want my users/bloggers to be able to add recipes to a central “book” for the site, while still being allowed to have their own blogs, etc..but I haven’t yet figured out how to go about it.
