01
They save the recipe they meant to cook
The Save Recipe form sits on the recipe they already opened. They get the shopping list for that recipe, not a generic newsletter dump.
Private betaRecipe Return
Turn a saved recipe into return visits and ratings.
A reader types their email on a recipe and taps Save Recipe. They get the shopping list now, a nudge to cook it, a chance to rate it, and three more recipes from you.
Works with WP Recipe Maker. Does not work with Tasty Recipes.

Three jobs
Save. Come back. Tell you how it went.
02
Four emails from your own mail
The four-send always comes from your WordPress mail. Kit and Flodesk are optional, and only for a newsletter tick. They do not send the recipe sequence.
03
A real rating when they tap how it went
Day 5 asks how it went. One-tap stars write a real WP Recipe Maker rating, so the proof lands on the recipe itself.
The four-send
Four emails. Always from your sender.
Kit and Flodesk never send this sequence. They only see a reader who also opted into your regular newsletter.
Now
The shopping list for that recipe, including affiliate links already on the WP Recipe Maker card.
Day 2
Why it is worth making. Reader comments if you have them, otherwise the rating, otherwise how small a job it is.
Day 5
How did it go, with one-tap stars that write a real WPRM rating.
Day 10
Three related recipes from your own site.
On a live food blog
The save form, the four emails, and the results.
These are real Recipe Return screens from Healthy Living James. Not shop blocks from Recipe Affiliate.
On the recipe
Save Recipe sits under the card
The panel appears on the recipe they already opened. They add an email, get the shopping list for that recipe, and can tick the newsletter if they want it.

Match the blog, not a generic popup
You set the panel, button, and text colours. A readability preview shows the real form before you save.

You customise the introduction of each workflow email. Recipe data, affiliate links, and unsubscribe wording stay locked.

Results
Saves, sends, and clicks back
Results shows who saved a recipe, which emails went out, and what readers clicked. Open rates stay off, because Apple Mail opens every message.
Recipe Return / Results
Is this WP Recipe Maker only?
Yes. Recipe Return finds the recipe on the post, reads ingredients, equipment, ratings, and related recipes, and replaces the existing Save Recipe block. The free version of WPRM is fine.
Are the four emails sent through Kit or Flodesk?
No. Those four always come from your WordPress mail. Kit and Flodesk only receive people who ticked the optional newsletter box.
Do I have to clone my recipe card template?
No. Keep your normal card. Turning the plugin off restores the original Save Recipe block.
What does private beta pricing look like?
Beta first. You get a personally supported install on a real food blog. A public buy button is not on this page yet.
