Recipe Card Blocks adds a set of custom blocks to the WordPress block editor that help you create, display, and reuse recipes across your website. You can build recipes using either a full recipe card or individual recipe sections, depending on your workflow.
All blocks are available in the Block Inserter → Recipe Card Blocks section once the plugin is installed and activated.
You can insert only one main recipe per post or page using the recipe card blocks.
This limitation exists to avoid issues with structured data (Schema.org). Having multiple recipes with full recipe schema on the same page can cause validation errors or prevent search engines from correctly reading your recipe data.
If you want to display multiple recipes on the same page, you should use:
These methods allow you to showcase multiple recipes without breaking structured data rules.
Note: Some PRO blocks are available on all pricing plans, while others require Professional or Business.
Available in all pricing plans.
A complete recipe card block that combines recipe details, ingredients, directions, and PRO styling into a single block.
Adds a button or link that allows visitors to jump directly to the recipe section on the page.
Adds a print button that generates a clean, print-friendly version of the recipe.
If you’ve enabled automatic display of the Jump To and Print buttons in the plugin settings, you may not need to insert these blocks manually.
Displays nutrition information such as calories and nutrient values associated with the recipe.

Blocks with green icons are legacy blocks introduced in earlier versions of the plugin. These include:
You don’t have to use these blocks when creating standard recipes. They can be useful in non-recipe posts, where you want to create ingredient lists or step-by-step instructions without adding a full recipe card.
Both Insert Existing Recipe and Recipe Roundup are designed to help you reuse and promote your existing recipes across your site.
Use the Recipe Roundup block to insert short previews of previously published recipes into a post or page (for example, “Summer Desserts” or “Holiday Recipes”).
Use the Insert Existing Recipe block to display a recipe you’ve already created:
This allows you to reuse content without duplicating recipes or breaking structured data.
Recipe Card Blocks can also be used on pages built with Elementor, not just in the WordPress block editor.
When editing a page with Elementor, you can add recipes using:
The Insert Existing Recipe widget lets you select a recipe created in the Recipe Cards section and display it anywhere in your Elementor layout, without duplicating content or breaking structured data.
Note: To avoid structured data issues, make sure you only display one main recipe per page when using Elementor as well.
