How to choose a recipe pin layout

Use a photo-led layout for one recipe, a type-forward layout for meal plans, and a roomy composition when the title needs more than six words. Keep the dish visible behind the headline and let the strongest ingredient provide the color cue.

Image tip: Lead with the finished dish in natural light; close crops usually outperform ingredient collages.

Good fits for this collection

  • One-pan dinner with a short cook time
  • A weekly meal plan or batch-cooking roundup
  • A dessert recipe where the finished dish is the hero

What a good recipe pin does

Make the finished dish immediately recognizable and communicate why it is worth saving. Three angles that usually suit recipe posts:

  1. 1.Time-saving promise
  2. 2.Ingredient-led hook
  3. 3.Occasion or meal plan
