 * Could you clarify what you’re trying to do exactly?
 * Recipes are a custom post type with recipe data saved as metadata, so these are
   all stored in the default WordPress wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables. I wouldn’t
   recommend messing with anything directly.

 * I have a JSON export from the tables of my ole Yoorecipe Joomla plug-in. I am
   looking for a way to insert the data into WP Recipe Maker via JSON.

 * Definitely do not try to import this directly in the database, that won’t work.
 * You might have to build your own custom recipe importer:

 * Or if you can get them into our exact format, our JSON import feature might work:
