How I adapted my blog to Google’s recipe search

Disclaimer: This is likely of interest primarily to other food bloggers.

Those who follow tech news may have heard of Google’s new recipe search, which was launched two weeks ago. Google has created a tab to search specifically for recipes, much like its searches for photos or news. The catch? In order to be included, your site has to meet certain coding standards.

This may or may not be good news for food bloggers. Most of us write in paragraph form — as opposed to, say, filling out a spreadsheet with quantities and ingredients — and don’t tag things such as ingredients, cooking time (do we even list that?) or rating (who among us lets people rate recipes?).

Israeli blogger meet-up

Last week, I had the fortune to meet another two dozen English-language bloggers in Israel. Here’s my belated wrap-up.

New photo-based archive of posts and recipes

After much struggling with PHP, I’ve finally made a photo-based archives page, where you can find all my food photos with links to the corresponding recipes and posts. After all, my suspicions tell me most people are here for the photos anyway, so what better way to enjoy them than to have them all in one place, as colorful little icons? Kind of like a tapas bar.
