A fast, beautiful recipe card with Recipe schema, a servings scaler, print button and kitchen gear links that carry your affiliate tag automatically.

== Description ==

**GearSpoon Recipe Card** gives food bloggers a gorgeous recipe card that ranks and earns. Fill in a simple box under your post, and GearSpoon adds a modern card with everything readers and Google want.

= Built for food blogs that make money =

* **Kitchen gear links** – list the pans, pots and tools you use. Amazon links get **your Associates tag added automatically** (existing tags are replaced, never duplicated).
* **Links inside ingredients** – write `2 cups sofrito | https://...` and the ingredient becomes a link.
* **Automatic disclosure** – an affiliate disclosure appears only on cards that contain links.
* **`rel="sponsored nofollow"`** on every affiliate link.

= Built for readers =

* **Servings scaler** – readers tap + or − and every amount updates, with real kitchen fractions (1 1/2, 3/4, 1/3…).
* **Prep/cook time bar** – see at a glance where the time goes.
* **Check off ingredients** while cooking.
* **Print button** – prints only the recipe.
* **Jump to Recipe** button at the top of the post.
* **Numbered steps** and section titles (`# Sauce`).

= Built for Google =

* **Recipe schema (JSON-LD)** with times, yield, ingredients, steps, tools, cuisine, course and calories.
* **Lightweight** – no jQuery, small CSS, scripts load only on recipe posts.

= Easy =

* Fill in the "Recipe Card" box below the editor.
* The card is added after your content automatically, or place it with the **Recipe Card** block or `[gearspoon_recipe]`.
* Works with block and classic themes.

= Pro version =

Everything above is free. The optional Pro add-on adds automatic Amazon keyword links, star ratings with schema, full nutrition, recipe video, Pinterest button and "email me this recipe" lead capture. Learn more at https://md5to.com/plugins/gearspoon-recipe-card/

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I add a section title in ingredients or steps? =

Start the line with a hash and a space, like `# Sauce`. Lines like `#10 can tomatoes` stay normal items.

= How do I link an ingredient or tool? =

Add a vertical bar and the URL at the end of the line: `Caldero 5 qt | https://www.amazon.com/dp/XXXX`.

= Which Amazon stores are supported for the tag? =

Amazon.com and the main international stores (.ca, .com.mx, .co.uk, .de, .es, .fr, .it, .com.br, .co.jp, .com.au, .in and more). Links to other stores are left untouched.

= Will my recipes be deleted if I uninstall? =

No. Settings are removed, but recipe data stays with your posts. Developers can use the `gearspoon_delete_recipes_on_uninstall` filter to remove it.

= Can I use it on pages or custom post types? =

Posts and pages are supported. Add more with the `gearspoon_post_types` filter.
