It shouldn't be difficult to add a recipe to your WordPress site.

Recipe Hero adds a new custom post type, recipe, to your website. Adding a recipe is just like adding a post. You can add everything from the recipe's yield to the equipment needed, the cooking time to the ingredients - everything will be automatically formatted for Google Rich Snippets and Pinterest Rich Pins.

Navigate to http://yourwebsite.com/recipes to see all the new recipes you've added. You can easily customise the CSS to your liking and make it look perfect. It's automatically set-up to be responsive, clean & beautiful.
