I know there are more. If you weren’t listed, contact me, I’ll add you in.
Note: I was contacted in October 2011 by the plugin team at Automattic
and requested to remove a specific translation link. Automattic is
concerned that translations are being provided to obtained valuable
SEO backlinks.
As a result, I’m delinking all commercial links from the hRecipe
plugin. If your company provided a translation and you want it
removed as a result, I’ll be happy to do that, just let me.

How hRecipe benefits you
The magic happens using “microformats,” technology
invisible to you, but friendly to search engines.
The hRecipe plugin shows a popup windows with text fields and text
areas that allow the author to conveniently enter the various parts of
the hRecipe microformat, then inserts a formatted recipe into the page
or post. The formatting has the hRecipe class specifications.
There is a growing list of options to control how your recipes
are displayed:
- Ingredients lists formatting can be either by number or by bullet point.
- The background color of the formatted recipe can be specified to match or offset the background color of the enclosing web page.
- The display text for many sections of recipes may be specified.
- International support is growing rapidly.

Coding (and styling) review
hRecipe would really benefit from a code review, especially from a
PHP/WordPress expert. The primary concern right now is ensuring that
the Javascript and CSS are handled in an optimal manner. Contact the
author if you would to like to help by reading through the code.
