Astro Recipe Templates

Astro templates & code starters for BCMS streamline your workflow by putting all recipe content: ingredients, steps, nutrition, and tags into a structured CMS, so you can focus on building features, not fixing data.

Astro’s static rendering delivers blazing-fast page loads and minimal JavaScript by default, while BCMS lets editors manage recipes, categories, and images without touching code or version control.

Ideal for food blogs, cooking platforms, or meal-planning sites, this starter keeps your content scalable and your frontend lightning fast.

What’s inside the Astro Recipe template:

Fully structured content data: Manage ingredients, step-by-step instructions, nutrition info, and cook times as reusable content blocks in BCMS. No more messy Markdown or inconsistent formats.
Filterable tags and categories: Easily build dynamic filters for cuisine types, dietary needs, difficulty levels, or prep times, all powered by CMS-driven content you can query directly.
Optimized image: Use Astro’s built-in <Image> component with BCMS to serve responsive, lazy-loaded photos that don’t kill your load times.
Fast static builds: Astro pre-renders all your pages with zero JavaScript by default, keeping your site lightweight and fast across devices.
Localization support: BCMS handles your content translations, and Astro’s file-based routing lets you deploy a multi-language site without adding complexity to your code.
Tailwind CSS for styling: Utility-first classes let you tweak design and layout instantly.
SEO that just works: Generate dynamic meta tags, Open Graph info, and recipe schema automatically from your CMS content.
Mobile-first UI out of the box: Recipes are designed to be readable and usable on any screen size from phones to kitchen tablets, without extra work on your part.

Build Astro Recipe site with BCMS

If you're building a recipe site that needs to be fast, structured, and easy to manage, this Astro + BCMS starter gets out of your way.

Astro’s component islands let you keep interactivity where it matters (like filters or image galleries), while everything else stays static and fast. Add recipes through the CMS, ship without redeploys, and focus on building a better experience, not managing content manually.
