Module 2 — Dietary Profile
Step 1 of 4
🌿
Your Cookbook Mentor
Now we're building the dietary identity of your cookbook — the badge system that lives on every single recipe card.

Think of these badges as a promise to your reader. The moment they open your book, those little tags tell them: "This recipe is safe for you. I already did the checking."

We'll set your cookbook-wide defaults here. When you get to the Recipe Builder, you can adjust badges on any individual recipe that needs something different.
Your cookbook's dietary identity
Start by choosing the primary dietary category that best describes this cookbook overall. This becomes your lead badge — the most prominent one on every recipe card.

Now let's add your secondary badges — the supporting tags that give readers a fuller picture of what makes your recipes safe and special.

Select every one that applies to your cookbook as a whole. If most (but not all) recipes qualify for a tag, include it — you can remove it from individual recipes later in the Recipe Builder.
Secondary dietary badges
Select all that apply to your cookbook overall. These appear alongside your primary badge on every recipe card by default.

Two final things. First — do you need any custom badges that aren't in the list? Some authors have very specific niche tags (like "Low-Histamine" or "FODMAP-Friendly") that make their book stand out.

Second — let's set your badge priority order. The first badge is always shown most prominently on a recipe card. Drag or use the arrows to put your most important badge first.
Custom badges
Add any dietary tag specific to your cookbook that wasn't in the list. These will appear alongside your selected badges.
Badge priority order
Your selected badges in order. Use the arrows to reorder — the top badge appears most prominently on every recipe card.

No badges selected yet — go back to Steps 1 and 2 to select your badges.

Tip: Put your most critical safety badge first (e.g. Alpha-Gal Safe, Gluten-Free) so readers see it immediately.

Your Cookbook Mentor
Your dietary profile is set. Every recipe card in your cookbook will now carry these badges by default.

When you get to the Recipe Builder (Module 5), you'll see these badges already loaded in — and you can add or remove individual badges per recipe with one click.

This is the system that makes your readers feel truly seen and safe. Well done.
