When it comes to filming recipe videos, you really don’t need a complicated setup. These days, an iPhone, a tripod, and good lighting can get you surprisingly far—and that’s actually what a lot of food creators are using to create their content.

If you read our recent post on Pinch of Yum’s traffic trends from 2024 to 2026, you’ve already got a pretty good idea of the key headline: search dipped slightly as a share of total traffic, but it’s still the biggest driver by far!
That raises an obvious follow-up question: if search is still doing the heavy lifting, how is the Pinch of Yum team keeping it that way? That is an excellent question, and luckily for you, we recently sat down with them to dig into the strategy behind the numbers. Let’s get into it!

We are so excited to finally fill you in on something exciting we’ve been working on behind the scenes… a HUGE refresh of our Facebook course!

Food bloggers were told to think about monetization in a very specific way. The advice was usually some version of the same formula. They had to increase pageviews, grow ad revenue, land more sponsored posts, and stack affiliate links wherever possible. That strategy worked for a while. In many ways, it still does.
But the food internet has changed. It almost feels archaic to call it the “internet”. Recipe content has become infrastructure for an entirely new generation of food tech. Meal-planning apps need recipes. Grocery platforms need recipes. Smart kitchen devices need recipes. AI cooking assistants need recipes. Personalized nutrition tools need recipes. Voice assistants also need recipes. Are you seeing a pattern?
Not just any recipes, either. They need organized, structured, reusable recipe content that can move across platforms and systems without breaking. Which means many food bloggers are already sitting on something incredibly valuable. Their recipe libraries.
The challenge is most creators still see those libraries as collections of blog posts rather than long-term content assets. When creators begin treating their content as reusable infrastructure instead of one-time publishing, entirely new partnership opportunities open up.

Happy Thursday! It’s a good day because we have a course update for you!
We’ve refreshed our Republishing Content course for 2026 with new strategies, updated best practices, and an all-new section on republishing and redistributing your content across social media.

One of the most important plugins for a food blogger is a recipe plugin. Recipes are at the core of most food blogs, so as a food blogger, you’ll want to make sure you’re publishing your recipes in a way that’s helpful for your readers and for search engines to understand.
A good recipe plugin will do both, and the landscape has shifted enough since we first wrote about this that it’s worth a fresh look!
Ready to dive into the wonderful world of recipe plugins? Let’s do it!
