The Recipe snippet is ideal for pages which describe a recipe. You are able to mark up your recipe content with structured data to provide rich cards and host-specific lists for your recipes, such as reviewer ratings, cooking and preparation times, and nutrition information.
How to markup Joomla Pages with the Recipe Schema
From the main menu choose Components -> Google Structured Data. Click on Items from the left sidebar and then on the New button to create a new Structured Data Item.
On the next page, you will need to prepare the Structured Data Item. Enter a Title (it can be anything) and select the Recipe Content Type from the respective dropdown.
Next, click to save the Structured Data Item. Once the page reloads, a new section called Recipe appears below where you can map each property with page data.
To read more details on how the mapping works, visit the respective section in the How to Add Structured Data to Pages guide.
