New: AI Cooking Assistant

You know the kinds of questions that readers of food blogs ask. ‘Can I use Greek yoghurt instead of sour cream?’ ‘How do I make this for two people?’ ‘Can I freeze it?’ By the time they appear in your comments, hours have passed and the reader no longer needs the answer. Most readers don’t wait. Instead, they open a new tab, ask Google or ChatGPT, and get an answer that has nothing to do with your recipe.

An ‘Ask about this recipe’ button has been added to every recipe card, just above the ingredients. When readers click on it, they can ask their question in a chat that already contains information about the recipe, such as the ingredients, steps, times, servings and nutritional information. The answer comes from your recipe and appears right on your page.

Check out the following benefits:

• Scaling: ‘Halve this for two people’ recalculates the quantities of all the ingredients.
• Substitutions: Swaps are given with quantities and indicate when a substitution has not been tested for your recipe.
• Conversions & timing: Convert between cups and grams, and between °F and °C. Find out how long to prepare and cook your dish in advance, how to freeze it and how to reheat it.
• Your other recipes: If you are asked what to serve with a dish, the assistant can suggest a side dish from your own blog.

Readers stay on your recipe instead of leaving for a new tab. Every question is saved for you, so you can finally see what your readers want to know. This information can be used for your next recipe note, FAQ or blog post.
