Food Recipes is an editorial-magazine WordPress theme built for food bloggers who care about typography, photography, and craft.

== Description ==
Food Recipes is an editorial-magazine WordPress theme designed for food bloggers and recipe websites who want to elevate their content. It pairs luxury Cormorant Garamond display typography with the geometric clarity of Jost — the same combination used in fine print magazines.

The homepage features an asymmetric editorial hero with a drop-cap pull quote, a circular category portal strip that auto-generates from your top categories with their first recipe image, and a refined card grid where every fifth card spans two columns for a magazine-style rhythm. Recipe cards optionally display cook time and servings via custom fields. The 4-column footer auto-generates from your top categories and most recent recipes.

Mobile-first, Customizer-driven, accessibility-conscious, translation-ready, and engineered for speed.

== Features ==
* Editorial hero layout with drop-cap pull quote and "Read the Recipe" CTA
* Circular category portal strip with auto-pulled images from your latest posts
* Recipe meta on cards (cook time, servings) — opt-in via custom fields _fr_cook_time and _fr_servings
* Magazine-style card grid with featured-wide cards every 5th position
* Auto-generated footer with top categories, recent recipes, and quick links
* Live news ticker (toggleable)
* Centered magazine masthead with animated decorative lines

* Horizontal-scroll category strip on mobile (premium app feel)
* Customizer: accent color, sidebar position, hero toggle, category strip toggle, footer about text, social links, copyright

* Fully accessible — ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, skip link, prefers-reduced-motion support
* Translation-ready (food-recipes text domain)
* PHP 8.2 compatible
* Tested up to WordPress 6.9
