Why Recipes are Important for your Food Business

Patterson Watkins June 3, 2019

Inspiration for the home cook… 

Recipes are a creative way to drive engagement with customers. Partnered with visual images (and we all love sexy food shots) and trending food topics, recipes will inspire and drive customers in the direction you’d like them to go…directly to your product in retail, to your website or social media platforms.  

Use that product UP! 

Say you have a relatively common product or something that is perceived challenging to the average home cook. Recipes are a great way to bridge these issues and turn them into creative solutions. Not to mention that giving customers a multitude of ways to utilize your product will create additional demand and an increased frequency of a repeat sale. 

Hungry Hungry Customers… 

Recipes are an SEO goldmine. Creating recipes that are following the trend patterns will consistently channel customers to your website. And by being seen as a reliable recipe leader will lead to more brand recognition and increased feelings of trust, connection and community with your customers. 

Market Diversity…

Just because your product might be intended for a specific cuisine type doesn’t mean that it can’t creatively be used for another, i.e.; fish sauce as a secret ingredient for meatloaf and chicken noodle soup (it’s an umami ‘bang-a-rang’ ingredient) or ketchup for sweet and sour Chinese takeout-style glazes, etc… You’ll attract a wider range of customer demographics by broadening the creativity. 

Are you interested in getting cranking on making deliciously sticky recipes? Let's connect!

Belgian Blond & Food Pairing
May 23, 2024

Belgian Blond Ales were created to appeal to Pils and Lager drinkers, grain forward with pops of honey-sweet malt and bubbly effervescent. Upon first sip, all I wanted was corn chips. That being said…What do I want to eat when sipping on Belgian Blonds? None other than Frito Pie!!

Snack Time with Foreign Extra Stout
May 13, 2024

The big, bold, boozy brother, Foreign Extra Stouts are like the Arnold Schwarzenegger to Irish Stout’s Danny DeVito. I don’t typically jive with high ABV beers and spicier food profiles—it’s often just doubling down on the burn. But!! There are exceptional exceptions and Foreign Extra Stouts can take the heat. What do I want to snack on while sipping Foreign Extra Stout? Zesty, fiery, crispy-crunchy things found in the chip aisle.

All hail the Pale Ale! The pioneering beer style that launched a thousand craft beer ships. These mildly toasty-caramel, boldly bitter beers make me long for hearty and meaty Mexican meals. Sooo…. What do I want to eat when sipping on American Pale Ales? Beef Birria and Chorizo & Potato Pambazos!!

Brisket, Biscuits & Wee Heavy

These sweet, malty, caramel-roasty beers, with hints of almost tea-like floral pops and ABV warmth, give off BIG southern BBQ energy. Brisket, biscuits, bubbly cheesy mac skillets, and *all* of the comfy fixin’s.

Flanders Red Ale & Food Pairing
Apr 19, 2024

The Burgundy of Belgium! A beer that sips like a wine. Tart, oaky, and fruity, Flanders Red Ale is a beer that screams for steak! This is probably the most “on brand” pairing I’ll ever make (I will chalk it up to that age old adage of ‘ain’t broke-don’t fix’). This red ale pairs so well with red meat.
