Connect MealBake to WordPress and push AI-assisted recipes as WP Recipe Maker cards, Tasty Recipes cards, or standard WordPress posts.

== Description ==

MealBake connects your WordPress site to the MealBake app so you can publish generated recipes directly into WordPress.

The plugin can:

* create WP Recipe Maker recipe cards when WP Recipe Maker is active
* create Tasty Recipes cards when Tasty Recipes is active
* fall back to a standard WordPress draft when no supported recipe plugin is installed
* import recipe images into the WordPress media library

== External Services ==

This plugin connects to the MealBake service at [mealbake.com](https://mealbake.com/).

It is required so you can connect your WordPress site to your MealBake account and receive recipe pushes.

The plugin does not send data to MealBake on its own. Data is sent only when you use MealBake to push a recipe to your WordPress site.

When a recipe is pushed from MealBake to this plugin, the request may include:

* recipe title, description, ingredients, instructions, and recipe metadata
* recipe images or image URLs
* the selected recipe destination
* the MealBake connection key used to authenticate the request
