Petit

Petit is a WordPress theme for food and recipe websites, although it’s also versatile enough to be used for a variety of other blog and magazine style sites. The premium theme from WPZOOM has a nice organic colour scheme ideal for food blogs and has a fully responsive design so the layout will automatically adapt to fit on any screen resolution on desktop and mobile devices (iPhone, iPad etc).

The theme has a magazine style homepage design so it will stand out from all the other food bloggers with its big featured recipe slider as well as a vertical carousel slider under that. Besides numerous built-in shortcodes it has two custom shortcodes specifically for recipes: Ingredients and Directions. This allows you to quickly and easily create nicely styled sections for ingredients and directions in your recipe posts. Another interesting aspect of this theme is the fact it does not use custom post types for recipes like many other food WordPress themes, but rather uses just a standard post. This allows people with existing food and recipe websites to easily switch to this theme (or another theme later) and not have any hassle losing your content. However there is still an option that allows you to let the theme know which of your posts are recipes, and which are traditional blog posts.
