Start a Recipe Blog

Create your own recipe blog with structured recipe pages, image hosting, and multilingual publishing built in. MealBake gives food bloggers a recipe publishing platform that handles the setup, hosting, and page structure so you can focus on recipes.

Launch at yourname.mealbake.com, write in a structured recipe editor, publish in multiple languages, and use optional AI drafting tools when they help. Manual recipe creation is always free.

Everything you need to launch a recipe blog

MealBake combines recipe blog hosting, structured recipe pages, image delivery, and multilingual publishing in one platform built for food bloggers.

Your blog is ready at yourname.mealbake.com in minutes. Ingredients, instructions, timing, servings, nutrition, and recipe page structure are already built into the editor.

If you want a faster way to start a recipe blog without piecing together your stack, MealBake is designed to keep publishing simple.

Two ways to create recipes

Write it yourself — always free

The recipe editor handles structure: ingredients, instructions, prep and cook times, servings, difficulty, nutritional data. Upload your own photos. Assign categories, cuisine, and meal type. No credit cost and no usage limits, even on the free plan.

Let the platform draft it — uses credits

Describe what you want: a cuisine style, a key ingredient, a dietary requirement, a mood. The platform generates a complete recipe draft — title, description, ingredients, instructions, food photo if you want one. The result comes back as a draft. You review it, edit it, and publish when it is ready. You stay in control of what goes live.

Who uses MealBake

Home cooks building a personal collection

You want your recipes in one place, shareable with people you know. You do not want to run a website.

Consistent food bloggers

You publish regularly and want to spend that time on content, not debugging themes or managing hosting.

Bloggers publishing in multiple languages

You write for more than one audience and need a system that handles localized URLs, separate recipe variants per language, and shared images — without duplicating everything manually.

Pricing

Plan Price Credits included Recipes with one photo
Free $0 300 (one-time) ~3
Basic $9 / month 4,000 ~40
Pro $19 / month 10,000 ~100
Studio $39 / month 22,000 ~220

Start free, no credit card required. Your initial 300 credits are enough to try the AI workflow and see whether it fits how you work.

Paid plans renew monthly. If you cancel, your blog and published recipes stay live. Manual recipe creation remains free — paid plans only add the monthly credit allowance.

Common questions

Do I have to use the AI features?

No. Manual recipe creation is unlimited and free on every plan. You can ignore the AI features entirely.

What happens to my blog if I cancel?

It stays live. Published recipes remain accessible to your readers. You lose the monthly credit renewal, but nothing gets taken down.

Can I use my own domain?

Not currently. Blogs are hosted at yourname.mealbake.com.

Can I export my recipes?

Each recipe can be exported as a PDF.

Do I own what I publish?

Yes. Everything you write or generate belongs to you.

How do multi-language recipes work?

A single recipe can have versions in up to 9 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Polish. Each version has its own URL and can be published independently. They share the same images and metadata.
