Taxonomy Archive Pages

Every course, cuisine or other recipe term can get its own archive page listing all matching recipes.

For each of the recipe taxonomies (ingredients, courses, cuisines, …) you can optionally enable automatic archive pages. By doing that, you’ll be able to link to a URL that lists all recipes for a specific term.

For example, here you can find all recipes in the “cocktail” course: https://demo.wprecipemaker.com/course/cocktail/

Optionally, you can also have the plugin automatically link the terms inside of the recipe card to those archive pages. Try clicking on “Dinner”, “Lunch” or “American” below, for example:

Instructions

Prepare

Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks. Rinse them in cold water and pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
2 russet potatoes
Heat the oil in the deep fryer to 325 °F. Fry the potatoes in batches for 5 minutes, until soft but still pale. Drain on paper towels.
vegetable oil
Fry the onion in a little oil until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds, then let it cool.
1 onion, 1 clove garlic
Mix the onion and garlic with the ground beef, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties, slightly wider than the buns, and press a shallow dimple into the middle of each.
1 1/2 lb ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper

The dimple keeps the patties flat on the grill instead of puffing up into meatballs.

Grill

Grill the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes.
8 slices bacon
Grill the patties over high heat for 4 minutes per side, until they reach 160 °F inside. Put the cheese on top for the last minute.
4 slices cheddar cheese
Meanwhile, heat the oil to 375 °F and fry the potatoes again for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crisp. Toss with the flaky salt.
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
Toast the rolls on the grill. Build the burgers with the lettuce, tomato, patties and bacon, and serve with the fries, ketchup and mustard.
4 bread rolls, 4 leaves lettuce, 1 tomato, ketchup and mustard

Notes

No deep fryer? Fry in a heavy pot with at least 3 inches of oil and use a thermometer to check the temperature.

No grill? Cook the bacon and burgers in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
