How do I make my recipes shoppable?

Every recipe on a Peristyle site ships shoppable. A reader taps once and a real cart fills at their local grocery store, Kroger or Walmart, with every ingredient matched to a real product, and every order is credited to you. Keeping the site you have? Start with the grocery cart instead.

How do I start a food blog if my recipes are only on TikTok or Instagram?

Paste your handle in the box above, or write a line about what you cook. You see your design on a real recipe page before you sign up. When you build, we bring five of your recipes across to start, and going live brings every one.

Is there a good alternative to WordPress for a food blog?

Every Peristyle site runs on EmDash, the open source successor to WordPress. Each plugin runs in its own sandbox, hosting, backups and monitoring are included, and a built-in importer moves your WordPress posts across.

Looking is free. When you build, you add a card and the first 30 days are free, then it is $89 a month. Cancel from your dashboard before day 31 and you pay nothing.

Who owns the recipes?

You do. Your recipes, your name and your readers stay yours, nothing is live anywhere until you say so, and the software your recipes live on is open source.

The place your readers arrive, the cart they shop from, and the credit when a machine repeats your recipe. Built for you from the work you already make.

The place your readers arrive

A page like this for every recipe, in the design you pick, with Home, Recipes and About around them. Readers get a recipe page they want to come back to, with the ingredients and steps right where they expect them.

The cart they shop from

Every recipe ships shoppable. A reader taps once and a real cart fills at their local grocery store, Kroger or Walmart, every ingredient matched to a real product.

Every order is credited to you.

The credit when a machine repeats it

Readers already ask an assistant what to cook. When one repeats your recipe, it repeats it right, and your name and your link go with it.

Your admin, and what WordPress never gave you

Every site runs on EmDash, the open source successor to WordPress. Posts, pages, media and menus work the way you already know, and keeping the site up to date is a matter of writing, not maintenance. The plugin risk and the upkeep stay behind.

The EmDash post editor: a title, a featured image, a formatted article, and publish, schedule and live-view controls beside it. — The EmDash editor. Your recipes get their own fields for ingredients, steps and times.

The EmDash editor. Your recipes get their own fields for ingredients, steps and times.

Fix a recipe in place. Open it, change the line, press Publish. Drafts, revisions and scheduling are there when you want to write ahead.
Add a post without formatting anything. Title, photo, ingredients and steps each have their own field. Or paste a public TikTok or Instagram link and the importer drafts the recipe for you to check.
Leaving WordPress? Bring it with you. If you need it, a built-in importer moves your WordPress posts across, so nothing is copied by hand.
Let an assistant help, on your terms. It speaks MCP, so an assistant like Claude can draft, edit and schedule posts with only the permissions you give it.
Open source underneath. The software your recipes live on is not ours to take away.

It starts with one line.

Put your recipes in the grocery cart.

We bring in the recipes you have already posted and put a cart on every one. A reader taps once, a real cart fills at their local grocery store, and the order is credited to you.

What the cart gives you

One tap to a full cart
Every ingredient matched to a real product at their Kroger or Walmart. They check out in the store's own app, the way they already shop.
Found in ChatGPT and Claude, under your name
Cooks ask an assistant what to make for dinner. When the Peristyle Grocery Cart answers, your recipe comes back whole, with your name and your link on it.
Analytics on who cooked
Viewers, carts filled and confirmed purchases, recipe by recipe, on your dashboard. Every number you get today is about who looked. This one is about who cooked.
Commission on what they buy
An affiliate commission on the groceries your readers check out, from a recipe you already made.

Also yours, and set up for you: a Peristyle page for every recipe, at a Peristyle address, so each cart links back to the whole recipe. There is nothing you have to write or keep up.

How recipes get into the cart from then on: your pages come with their own admin console. Publish a recipe there, or paste a TikTok or Instagram link and it drafts the recipe for you, and it goes into the cart, credited to you.
