 * Are you guys planning on adding a import feature? I have over 160 recipes. There
   is no way I can type it all over again.
 * And what about a add recipe button in the post edition page?
 * And a shortcode for the recipe title? It does not show when I add the recipe 
   shortcode to a post…

 * Import is difficult because a unique importer needs to be built for each and 
   every type of importing. If you’re importing from XML, importing from another
   plugin, etc. Where would you be importing from?
 * Not sure what you mean with question 2.
 * The recipe title doesn’t display because the single recipe shortcode is for using
   inside another post and assumed that you only want to display the actual recipe
   content. You can place the title of the recipe above the shortcode or within 
   the recipe template itself if you need to show it.

 * I want to ditch easy recipe and wp recipe maker.
 * I was talking about a button where a window opens and we get to input the recipe
   data.
 * Sometimes, if you have more than one recipe in a page (I mostly use shortcodes)
   it’s nice to have the title already there.
 * Most food bloggers like to have a post with some other news then they put the
   recipe in the end.
 * The import and the title are the only things keeping me from switching to Cooked.
 * Maybe not a import, but some function that could recognize the other plugins’
   format and convert it for display.
 * But you have a great plugin.

 * [@angelcosta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelcosta/): Thanks for the
   feedback, I’ll see what I can do.
