Recipe
One absolute URL per line. Google recommends several images with 16x9, 4x3 and 1x1 ratios.
ISO 8601, for example 2026-11-05 or 2026-11-05T09:30:00+02:00.
Times and yield
Give prepTime together with cookTime, or only the total time.
Left empty it is the sum of the two above.
Required when you give calories: the calories are per serving.
Comma separated.
Ingredients and steps
One ingredient per line, with its amount.
Rating
Use a dot as the decimal separator, 4.6 and not 4,6. The scale is 1 to 5 unless you set the limits below.
Google accepts ratingCount or reviewCount; this tool writes ratingCount, the form its examples use.

What it checks and how it works
The tool follows Google Search Central's recipe page, opened on 29 Oct 2026. It requires name and image, and recommends author, datePublished, description, prepTime, cookTime, totalTime, recipeYield, recipeCategory, recipeCuisine, keywords, recipeIngredient, recipeInstructions, aggregateRating, nutrition.calories and video. Google suggests several high-resolution photos of the finished dish, at least 50K pixels each, in 16x9, 4x3 and 1x1 ratios.
Minutes are written as ISO 8601 durations, and totalTime is the sum of the two times when you leave it empty. The page says prepTime and cookTime are always used together, and that nutrition.calories needs recipeYield with the number of servings; the tool tells you when either is missing. Steps are written as HowToStep objects, which Google recommends. The tool does not write step-level video or images, and it cannot check that your photos are crawlable.
