Recipe Update Checklist

This tutorial features the Feast Plugin, which contains theme enhancements.

When you're updating posts, you want to be as thorough as possible to avoid having to re-edit multiple times. Remembering all of what needs to be done is impossible though - so we've created a Recipe Update Checklist available exclusively through the Feast Plugin.

For new posts, use the Recipe Post Template for a pre-built post structure, instead of writing a new recipe from scratch.

Note: checklist has been blurred as these will be updated frequently based on ongoing best practices. Please visit the "Recipe Update Checklist" page in the Feast Plugin for the current list.
