๐Ÿ… Featured Recipe: Tahini Glazed Chicken Wings from All Things Barbecue

One of my favourite shops using Recipe Kit at the moment. This recipe is a perfect example of why! It is delicious, relevant (for game day celebrations), and takes advantage of all the features that Recipe Kit gives you:

  • Extremely high quality video accompanying the recipe card.
  • Screen-grabs from the video act as step-by-step photos, making it easy to follow along.
  • Natural product placement in the ingredients list.
  • Detailed recipe nutrition - so important for most readers (especially for these game day snacks).

๐Ÿ“ Blog Highlight: SEO Tips for Recipe Descriptions

Our latest blog post, How to Write SEO-Friendly Recipe Descriptions, breaks down strategies to:

  • Target high-value keywords (e.g., "easy 30-minute dinner recipes" vs. generic terms).
  • Structure descriptions with bullet points and scannable details (prep time, dietary tags).
  • Automate schema markup using Recipe Kit to unlock Google's rich results.

Pro Tip: Refresh older recipes with seasonal keywords (e.g., "valentine's day meals") to maintain traffic year-round.
