What’s New in 6.3.0
1. New Ingredients Manager + Ingredients Scanner
Managing ingredients across multiple recipes is now easier and more consistent.
With the new Ingredients Manager, you can better organize ingredient data and reuse it across recipes, helping reduce inconsistencies in naming, units, and formatting.
Instead of treating ingredients as isolated text fields in each recipe, 6.3.0 lets you move toward a managed database approach.
You can now:
- Scan your existing recipes and collect ingredients in one place
- Build a centralized ingredient list from real content already on your site
- Add affiliate/product links once and reuse them globally
- See ingredient status directly in recipes with visual indicators
This is a major workflow upgrade for anyone publishing recipes at scale.
New tool: Ingredient Scanner
The new Ingredient Scanner helps you bootstrap your ingredient library from your existing recipes.
What it does:
- Goes through your recipe content
- Extracts ingredient entries
- Adds them to your ingredient database
- Helps standardize your ingredient catalog over time
This means you don’t need to start from scratch. If you already have dozens or hundreds of recipes, the scanner gives you a practical migration path into structured ingredient management.
2. Icon Fonts Replaced with SVG Icons
Recipe Card Blocks now uses SVG icons instead of icon fonts on the front end.
Why this matters:
- More reliable rendering across themes and environments
- Better visual consistency
- Easier style control for modern block/theme setups
- Cleaner foundation for future icon improvements
3. Improved Recipe Card (PRO) Block Settings
We reorganized and refined block sidebar settings so they’re easier to understand and faster to use.
This includes:
- Better panel grouping
- New Styles tab
4. AI Recipe Generator & Nutrition Improvements
We shipped several improvements around AI generation and nutrition facts generation:
- Better AI controls in block settings
- Improved regenerate flows
This update also includes practical improvements for:
- Nutrition-related AI workflows
- Mapping and handling of nutrition fields
