Write a 50-150 word intro. Use the name of your recipe 2-3 times for SEO purposes. What to write about? Here are three ideas:
- Tell a Personal Story: Begin with a personal anecdote or memory related to the recipe.
- Share Interesting Facts or History: Provide background information about the recipe's origins or cultural significance.
- Highlight what makes this recipe a standout: Perhaps it's the health benefits, the fact that it's easy to make, or that it's a great recipe to make with kids ... highlight whatever made this recipe one you wanted to share.
Recipes where the intro really works:
- An Easy and Delicious Arroz con Leche Recipe Your Kids Will Love
- Super Easy Matzo Ball Soup
- Family Apple Crisp Recipe A Delicious Fall Treat
Notes on images:
Food pictures can be difficult to take! Here are four tips:
- Use natural lighting when possible. Harsh overhead lights or a flash are often unflattering.
- Experiment with different angles to find the most appealing perspective for your dish.
- Consider the plate you use, the placement of utensils, and the background to create an aesthetically pleasing composition.
- Consider adding people to an image. While most recipes showcase the food in images, it's also fun to include kids enjoying the meal or helping with meal prep!

Notes about directions: Write detailed and easy-to-follow directions. Ideally, you can ask someone to try making your recipe before submitting it so they can let you know if the directions are clear and easy to follow.

2. Direction 2
3. Direction 3
Finish with a simple closing sentence. Use the recipe name again for SEO purposes.
