How I Draft Recipes with n8n (Live Blog Workflow)
Chef Emily
Kitchen guide behind Tasty Top Recipes — gluten-free recipes for busy home cooks.
I run a real recipe blog. The slow part was never cooking – it was starting every post from a blank WordPress screen.
So I built a simple n8n workflow for myself:
- Enter a recipe focus keyword
- Pull live research (search intent, tips, FAQ angles)
- Write a cookable recipe article – recipe near the top, tips/FAQ after
- Create a WordPress Draft (never auto-publish)
- Set Rank Math title, meta, and focus keyword
- Email me when the draft is ready
I approve in WordPress, add photos + WP Recipe Maker, then publish.
Why cook-first matters
Readers who want dinner do not want to scroll past a wall of fluff to find ingredients. The draft puts the Recipe block up front, then the helpful tips. Conclusion is last.
Who this is for
- Food / recipe bloggers on WordPress
- People already using (or willing to use) n8n
- Anyone who wants draft help, not auto-spam publishing
