 * I need a theme for a recipe blog. I’d like it to be uncomplicated. I also need
   a plugin to manage the content. Print option, photo inclusion simple click, title
   font choices, and general options like categories, etc. I’ve looked at several
   but not all reviews are positive or it hasn’t been updated in years.
 * I need personal recommendations rather than lists of plugins though that can 
   help.
 * Free, please. Many are free but without many features. I don’t need all the bells
   and whistles, just a simple plugin with a basic theme. Header photo can be changed.
 * Left sidebar if possible

 * Go to the themes tab on this website, select “left sidebar”, also “responsive”
   so your site will work on mobile and tablets without much extra effort, browse
   the other options too. You will get lots of themes to choose from, pick a well
   used one, even try a few to see how they differ.
 * You do not need a plugin to manage your content. The mechanism is already present.
   The “posts” mechanism provides the ability to create blocks of text with pictures
   etc, AND associate the article with as many categories as you want. Initially
   start with a modest list of categories, you can easily add more later. Say you
   started with categories of:
    breakfast / lunch / dinner / desert / snack / vegan/
   vegetarian / chocolate / banana / orange / lemon / pasta / rice / potato Then
   you can enter you recipes and tick as many categories as relevant. You can create
   menu entries for categories, later on you might want a search form.

 * Thanks but I’d rather use one of the recipe plugins. I’m just not sure which 
   so I’ll have to try each one
