Programs for embedding recipes on your blog?

I was followed by http://www.kitchenmonki.com on Twitter which caused me to look up their website. Just wondering if anyone uses anything like this.
http://www.facebook.com/kitchenbug is another source I've seen (although it's not out yet).

Does anyone use a program like this to embed recipes in your site? The pros I see is that it makes your site more searchable, both on site and through Google recipes. But, seems like it would be a pain to enter things that way (I tried entering a recipe using the Google recipe tagging plugin and it drove me nuts).

Re: Programs for embedding recipes on your blog?

  • are you referring to using the hrecipe microformat?  I have been writing new posts in that format for a while, but I haven't gone back to the previous 3 years worth of content and changed it over.  I have a template with all the formatting code, I just type in the text/ingredients/link to photo, etc when I have a new recipe. 
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    yep, that's the one.  

  • My blog finally just got accepted and now shows the recipe snippets, took a few months of waiting and several days of hard work. The one advice I have is to make sure EVERY recipe/post/page that includes the hrecipe tag to be 100% compliant with Google's requirements (check their snippet testing tool). If one recipe is off, they won't accept your site.

     

    But regarding specific tools, I've looked into that but found it easier to manually update my recipes. I have a sample html code for each post as a starting point and simply swap out ingredients/amounts/etc. Overall I'd say this only adds 1-2 minutes of extra work per post now.
