Bugs fixed, new features added and an awesome new developer with passion to enhance the plugin plus he is quick in support.

Used this plugin for years on several sites. Lately buggy and slowing down admin. We have pro version so I wrote to their support almost 2 weeks ago, got an auto response, then nothing since despite several reminders. I am afraid this has been abandoned. Quite frustrated as we are paying for the pro version. Since they have our money, would be good to at least respond with a “we’re working on it.” Time to cancel and convert all my recipes over to ACF.

As others have said. Buggy and support does not get back to you. Move one. Shame, it used to be good and well supported.

`I use the plugin (Pro version) on the website of a client who is, among other things, a nutritionist and writes recipes.
He also calculates the nutritional values for each recipe exactly. However, when he enters his recipe and all ingredients incl. quantity into the plugin, the nutritional values are unfortunately not correct at all and are calculated incorrectly because American values are stored here.
Is it possible to adjust the nutrition table to German values so that the values are really reliable?
Best regards from Germany

I asked them for a refund less than 24 hours after I purchased it, and they’re playing games and not refunding the purchase. I sent them proof of purchase and other screenshots, and they aren’t’ responding.
As for why I won’t be able to use it: it says if you pay for premium it’ll calculate nutrition. It doesn’t. It then proceeded to not play nice with already established, necessary plugins.
I’m hoping they’ll honor their policy and eventually refund my money, but I’m not holding my breath.

I loved this plug-in and use it for my temple’s shared recipes, but since the last update a few months ago, the Search function and category listings aren’t working. I was hoping for an update to fix these issues. Alas, it is time to find a new recipe plug-in.

This plugin is full of bugs and they don’t fix anything. DO NOT BUY THE PRO version, that is even worse, waste of your money, they don’t provide any updates or fixes… Most basic bugs are still not fixed after 1 year…

This plugin does not play with the Divi theme. Every time I try to activate it, it crashes my site.
I don’t have enough patience to put my website up in staging so they can work out the issues. I have asked for my money back, but they keep telling me they can fix it.
I’m done.

I loved the plugin.
I only have one observation. On my site users create various recipes. That is, when they enter the page to see your recipes, many appear and they have difficulty finding them.
I suggested to the team that they provide a filter or even a search on the page that shows “My recipes”.
[cooked-profile layout=”compact”]
Support suggested I use: [cooked-browse author= …]
But it still doesn’t work because the idea is that in the user’s profile he can find his recipes easily.
That’s the only observation and a pity it wasn’t even taken into account.

I was beginning to think that the developer of the plugin was interested in it, but the way he is doing it I can’t help but wonder.
At least one of the updates completely messed up the visual structure of the front end and now the “Final product weight” has been replaced with “Serving size”. Anyone who works with recipes understands the difference. In all recipes, this parameter now needs to be recalculated and corrected manually!!! Besides, given the previous experience – who can guarantee that tomorrow the plugin author will not come up with another “Super improvement”.
At least some important features do not work at all – for example, Schema markup (Google Structured Data and Schema.org). All work O.K. on the Demo site, but when I installed the plugin (on Nginx) and tested for structured data nothing was found. Asking for the help of support – they answered 2 times with some bla, bla bla, and then stopped answering at all. Also, there was an update a day ago – after that “Servings Switcher” stopped working. So, if you have chosen this plugin already and do not want to switch – test updates on staging first. If not – maybe better look for another one.

Considering this is a free plugin, it’s pretty good. It’s easy to use and the documentation is okay.
However it’s missing a few important features. The biggest for me: Recipe import/export options. A request many other users had before me and the developer replied here in this forum over 2 years ago that it’s in development. Well…. it’s still not available – not in the PRO version either.
The recipe template layout/design options are limited. However Cooked / Cooked PRO integrates well with Elementor plus Elementor PRO Website Builder and you can build a custom recipe template this way. Cooked has a section about “how to do this” in its documentation, so this is nice.
Customer Support. Hmmmm, it’s there but very sluggish. Even when you have the PRO version. For PRO customers, the support should be improved.

I’ve submitted recipes from WP admin and from the anonymous user front end form. The admin submission form is great. The anonymous front-end form has no styling whatsoever. I would like to see some improvement here (thank you).

The plugin does not really work with my theme, so I bought extra the plugin from Boxy Studio as I thought I would get support… But they don’t really care. The version to browse for a recipe is outdated and a step back from the previous version, where you could filter… I asked for code support to get the filter, which they once had, again- first they told me it was too time consuming to switch from browsing to filter but when I replied that that makes no sense as they originally already had filters so I would just like support in getting the old version back- no answer anymore, of course not. What did I expect! FYI: You’re lucky when you get an answer within two weeks!!! After the license has ran out I just buy a gpl, that’s cheaper as support for the official plugin support is not available anyway. Cannot recommend this.

I am really unhappy using the Pro version:
A lot of conflicts with other plugins, like Yoast, and maybe the Divi theme.
The picture upload does not work, links/buttons are not visible.
After sorting out which plugin caused the conflict, e.g. Yoast, today again Cooked Pro didn’t work correctly. I guess it is because of the recent updates of other plugins.
Although I give two stars because
– of the basic version, the pretty layout and maybe the plugin is useful for simple websites/blogs using no other plugins.
– the support is reachable, although their ideas didn’t help to solve the problems

I bought the pro version because I wanted to be able to have others submit their own recipes to the site and rate recipes. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t show how many people rated the recipe, and the ratings don’t get translated to google searches, so that really negatively impacts traffic coming to my site. Now I’m faced with the dilemma of buying a new plugin that can do those things and having to transfer hundreds of recipes. I’m disappointed because I otherwise I like the look of the plugin and my ability to customize most things in the layout.

The plugin is nice and works well, but I paid for the pro version for a few reasons:
* Recipe Ratings
* Support
Ratings work, but only for logged-in users. I have opened a ticket several times as a paying pro customer, and have received NO responses.

Hello Sir,
I bought a Blog Theme, but the owner suddenly decided it was a Food Blog she wanted. I struggled for days with Elementor Pro to create a Single Post Template for Food, all to no success.
When I cried out on some Elementor groups, someone suggested Cooked plugin to my mind, and I will say the story has changed for better.
But because You seem to know almost everything we could desire, I was forced to ask that– Were you ever a chef? LOL.
The plugin beats expectation, and has a beautiful design. I don’t know about what the customization options are yet, but the basic set up and features are more than enough.
What wowed me the most, is knowing that I can use Elementor– my favourite builder, to actually display contents from Cooked.
You are my hero on this matter–for saving me about 4 days of struggle and heartache. Thanks so much for such a powerful, detailed, robust and beautiful plugin.
Laughs excitedly. LOL

On the 28th of november I sent them an issue with the queries they are using.
Depending on the number of shortcodes you have on a page it can add SECONDS to the query time.
24 days later the didn’t even offer a suggestion, I had to redo all their crap shortcodes with custom code. Extra time and costs, if I knew I would have done it myself from the start.
I would give 0 stars if it was possible. Get something else, this plugin is not good.
Before someone said this could be the server it’s not, plenty of resources available and doing a query for the same info but in a different way fixes the issue(0.001s not 0.4s query time).
I have the pro version, in case someone asks.

Positives
The plugin itself does what it says. It’s pretty intuitive which makes it a breeze to post recipes. I like the added nutritional info section, it looks neat when you put the data in. I haven’t experienced any major issues and I’ve been using it for almost a year. Overall it looks good visually as well.
Negatives
SEO-wise it’s pretty weak and customer support is virtually non-existant. There are some basic features that it’s missing (Can’t add anything more than a number under “servings”.. most recipe plugins will allow you to put in yield, such as 1 cup etc but not this one)
I thought by investing in the pro I would get some level of support but they either ignore your questions or respond in a manner that’s not helpful (saying they’ll pass on to developers etc..) They also have a support forum, but they don’t respond there either so what’s the point? I’ve also seen them asking a user to remove their negative review and only then would they help.. not sure how I feel about that.
I had one basic request regarding how the plugin crops images but it wasn’t resolved in almost a year… pretty disappointed.
Overall, I think there are better recipe plugins out there with better support and better features. I’d recommend the free version – but I don’t think the added “support” you get with Pro is worth it.

I recently purchased this app for my site. It’s a pretty good plugin and quite user friendly. But I guess my only issue is that I find some of the layout of it to be a bit time consuming. Like adding ingredients for example. Having to click “add ingredient” and add them one by one each time is a bit of a pain, and the measurements don’t include sizes like “small, Medium or Large”. If it were possible to just bulk add ingredients and their measurements and sizes in a text area box this would take so much time out of adding recipes.
Other than this I find the plugin amazingly good. Value for money and I can see us using it for quite some time to come.

Template layout is not even close as to what the screenshots look like. There is no option to modify the template so it looks like the screenshot. Have put in a support request as the developer asks before posting a review on here and have yet to hear back. As some other people have stated, the support is lacking on this.
