How to Submit Your Recipe?

Have a recipe you’ve perfected and can’t wait to share with the world? Whether it’s a mouthwatering dessert, a hearty family dinner, or a signature cocktail that’s always a party hit, we want to see it! Sharing your culinary creations has never been easier. This guide will walk you through the steps to submit your recipe, so let’s get started!

Step 1: Your Email

Your email is our way of staying connected with you. We’ll use it to reach out if we have any questions about your recipe or to share exciting updates about your submission. Don’t worry—we value your privacy and won’t flood your inbox with unnecessary messages. Make sure to enter a valid email address so we can keep you in the loop!

Step 2: Post Title

This is where you get to flex your creative muscles! The post title is the first thing people will see when they come across your recipe, so make it enticing and descriptive. Think about what would catch your attention if you were scrolling through recipes. Here are some examples to inspire you:

  • Grandma’s Secret Apple Pie Recipe
  • 5-Minute Mango Smoothie for Busy Mornings
  • The Ultimate BBQ Ribs That Fall Off the Bone

Keep it short, catchy, and packed with personality. Your recipe deserves a title that does it justice!

Step 3: Post Tags

Tags are like little breadcrumbs that help others discover your recipe. They’re keywords or phrases that describe your creation and make it easier to find in searches. For example, if you’re submitting a chocolate cake recipe, you might use tags like:

  • chocolate
  • dessert
  • cake
  • party favorite

Think about the main ingredients, the type of dish, or the occasion it’s perfect for. The more relevant your tags, the more likely your recipe will reach the right audience.

Step 4: Post Category

Choosing the right category is important to help your recipe find its perfect home on our site. Is it a refreshing drink? A decadent dessert? Or maybe a healthy snack? Here are some common categories to choose from:

Pick the category that best describes your recipe. If it fits into more than one, don’t worry—we’ll help sort it out after submission.

Step 5: Paragraph (Your Recipe)

Now comes the heart of your submission: your recipe! This is where you get to share the magic step-by-step. We recommend breaking it down into these sections:

Ingredients

List all the ingredients needed for your recipe. Be specific with quantities and include any special notes (e.g., 2 cups of flour, sifted or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract). If substitutions are possible, mention them to make your recipe flexible for different dietary needs.

Instructions

Write clear, concise steps to guide others through making your dish. Include any tips or tricks that will help—for instance, “Mix until the batter is smooth but be careful not to overmix,” or “Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.”

Additional Notes

Add any extra information, such as storage tips, serving suggestions, or a brief backstory about how this recipe came to be. Personal touches make your recipe unique and relatable!

Step 6: Verification

This step ensures that you’re a real person (and not a robot trying to sneak in spam recipes). It’s quick and painless—just follow the instructions on the page to verify your submission.

They say we eat with our eyes first, and that’s why a stunning photo is so important. Upload a high-quality image of your finished dish or drink to grab everyone’s attention. Here are some tips for taking a great photo:

  • Use natural lighting for the best results.
  • Keep the background simple to let your dish shine.
  • Experiment with angles—overhead shots work well for some dishes, while a side view might be better for others.
  • Add a little garnish or props (like a colorful napkin or a fork) to make your photo pop.

Your image will serve as the “face” of your recipe, so make it count!

Step 8: Agree to the Terms

Before you hit submit, you’ll need to agree to our terms and conditions. Here’s a quick overview:

  • You confirm that the recipe is your own creation or that you have permission to share it.
  • By submitting, you grant us permission to feature your recipe and image on our site (with full credit to you, of course!).
  • You agree to follow our community guidelines to ensure a positive and respectful environment.

Checking this box is your way of saying, “I’m ready to share my delicious creation with the world!”
