Give your food blog the latest features – including Cook Mode – with Tasty Recipes, the all-in-one WordPress recipe plugin.

Cook Mode is one of the latest features that food bloggers can’t afford to ignore. Ever tried to cook a recipe while checking your phone with honey all over your fingers? Cook Mode is here to make sure that never happens again!

Cook Mode (sometimes referred to as Cooking Mode) is a feature that keeps the screen of your device on and prevents it from going dark when it’s not being actively used. Readers will often use it while cooking and following along with a recipe. 

Why is this important? Cook Mode vastly improves your readers’ experience. 

Especially when their hands are messy, Cook Mode makes it easy to refer to the instructions or ingredients list without having to touch their screens. 

That way, they can follow your recipes just as you intended – in a way that’s stress-free and convenient. 

Here’s what it looks like on the Tasty Recipes recipe card.
