Features
How Allspice features work for readers on your site.
Search & AI Search
Recipe discovery that keeps readers on your site — searching your archive by title, ingredient, or plain-language intent.
From recipe to shopping list
From recipe to shopping list to store — without leaving your site. Lists, pantry awareness, print, and delivery partners.
Recipe Saving
Your recipes, saved on your site — not in someone else's app. Collections, syncing, and personal versions.
Cook Mode, step by step
A hands-free, step-by-step cooking experience — timers, Voice Mode, and Pico on your recipe pages.
Flexible weekly planning
Flexible weekly planning built around your recipes — personal plans, publisher plans, and one-tap shopping lists.
A cooking assistant that acts
A cooking assistant that knows your site — and can actually do things. Site-aware answers, actions, and free-tier chat.
Integration
Everything needed to onboard a domain, install the widget, configure placements, and troubleshoot common setups.
Verify ownership & link your site
Start in the Publisher Portal to add your domain. Verification can use a DNS record (recommended) or an alternate method depending on your workflow.
Install the script / embed
Allspice can be installed through the WordPress plugin or a lightweight embed snippet. The portal provides the exact code for your account and domain.
Buttons, placement, and styling
Use portal controls to enable/disable each button, choose placement presets, and keep the UI aligned to your site layout.
Install & connect the plugin
Install the Allspice plugin, connect it to your Publisher Account, and choose placement options from the portal.
Allspice Search for recipe discovery
Learn how Allspice Search works, including AI recipe search, search pills, ranking signals, and how to add search to your WordPress navigation.
Premium subscriptions & publisher products
How Allspice Premium subscription attribution, publisher-created premium products, and revenue share payouts work for participating publishers.
Package, price & sell meal plans
Build plans from your recipes, bundle them into products, and sell free, one-time, subscription, or Premium-included plans — with 90% net revenue share.
Free reader access & AI chat limits
Clarifies what readers can use for free, why open-ended AI chat has a monthly limit, and how Allspice avoids passing unpredictable AI usage costs on to publishers.
Buttons inside the recipe card
Add Allspice shortcodes or custom triggers in WPRM recipe templates and snippet layouts so readers open Cook Mode from the card.
WP Rocket, caching, and common setups
Most caching and optimization plugins work fine. If you run aggressive JS deferral, exclude the Allspice script from delay/deferral or add recommended exceptions from the portal.
Common issues & fixes
Most issues are placement-related or caused by aggressive theme-level JS modifications. The portal can surface diagnostics and recommended fixes.
Share recipes & engage your audience
Learn how social media creators can use Allspice to organize recipes, drive traffic, and monetize content through bio links.
Connect email providers & grow your list
Automatically subscribe users to your newsletter when they opt in while using Allspice on your site. Supports Mailchimp, MailerLite, Kit, and more.
How Allspice reads & normalizes recipes
How we read recipe metadata, normalize ingredient components, and match ingredients for grocery lists, meal plans, pantry, substitutions, and unit handling.
Writing recipes for clarity & structure
Best practices for ingredient lists, instructions, and metadata that improve reader success, scaling accuracy, and structured parsing.
