RegioKochbuch is a comprehensive Joomla 5 extension for building professional recipe, cooking, and food portals. The extension combines structured recipe management with ingredients, units, categories, tags, images, galleries, wiki content, comments, ratings, and powerful search features.

Recipes can be managed clearly and organized using hierarchical categories, keywords, and reusable ingredients. An advanced search function allows users to search specifically by title, full text, ingredients, categories, tags, allergens, dietary preferences, cooking time, difficulty level, and rating. Autocomplete, live search, and faceted filters make navigation particularly convenient for websites with large recipe collections.

Extensive administration features are available for editorial work. Categories and tags can be searched, filtered, copied, merged, and processed using bulk actions. Duplicate detection, data quality tools, and the Import Studio help with building and maintaining large datasets over the long term.

The integrated media section provides comprehensive management of recipe images and galleries, including multiple uploads, drag & drop, thumbnails, focal points, image metadata, SEO-friendly filenames, and support for modern image formats such as WebP and — depending on the server configuration — AVIF. Responsive image output and lazy loading help ensure fast and efficient presentation in the frontend.

Comments and ratings allow visitors to interact with the content. Moderation features as well as spam and flood protection help administrators maintain control over user-generated content.

An integrated wiki section can provide additional information about ingredients, food products, cooking techniques, and other culinary topics, while linking this knowledge directly to the corresponding recipe content.

For search engine optimization, RegioKochbuch provides dedicated SEO features for recipes and categories as well as XML sitemaps for both recipes and categories. Various Joomla modules also make it possible to display recipes, categories, tag clouds, ratings, and comments flexibly in different positions throughout the website.

The extension uses Joomla's ACL system to provide differentiated user and editorial permissions and has also been hardened in various security-related areas for reliable use in production environments on the public internet.

Supported languages: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

RegioKochbuch is suitable for private and professional cooking websites, food blogs, regional portals, associations, gastronomy projects, publishers, as well as operators of extensive recipe collections and culinary knowledge databases.
