Wordpress Plugins — For Foodies
WP Recipe Maker
The best plugin for recipes on blogs. Has the ability to print and rate and handle intense recipes with multiple instructions and hierarchy when you are doing two things at once, such as dough and frosting.
Wordpress PluginsAdvanced Custom Fields
This is the plugin I use to create any custom feature for WordPress. It makes it so easy to do whatever you want! From choosing favorite posts with the relationship field, creating a list of team members with the repeater field, or a slider with the gallery field, it is essential for any custom site.

When creating new post types, this plugin is the best way to do it. Custom post types I create frequently: Mini Posts, Products, Portfolio Projects, Testimonials, Videos, etc. Currently my site has 11 Custom post types!
Wordpress PluginsDuplicate Post
By default, WordPress does not have the ability to duplicate a post so this is a nice plugin to quickly duplicate it. Another good one is Duplicate Menu that I’ve used a few times as well.
Wordpress PluginsBroken Link Checker
This plugin will help you catch any links that are broken so you avoid leading your reader’s to a dead end.
Wordpress PluginsContact Form 7
This is my favorite Contact Form plugin and usually has the least amount of bugs. You will want to also download the ‘Contact Form 7 Submissions’ to make sure any submissions don’t get lost between your site and your email inbox. It is more for those who know code and not as user-friendly for non-tech people as others plugins, but it makes it easy to create so many options including adding an opt-in for MailChimp or adding more questions depending on a previous answer
