Recipe: Schema.org JSON-LD writer

Generate valid JSON-LD structured data for recipes so Google serves rich snippets.

Why it matters

Recipe rich results drive 2–3× higher CTR. Without JSON-LD, your recipe pages are invisible to Google's recipe carousel, guided recipes, and voice-assistant queries.
