What Is the 10 Million Recipes Segment?

The 10 Million Recipes Segment is Gourmet Ads’ full recipe library packaged as a single targetable audience. Every recipe across our curated network of food blogs, recipe websites, and lifestyle and news publishers is indexed, categorized and available in one buy. Your campaign runs alongside recipe content wherever home cooks are reading it.

Why Advertise Alongside Recipes?

Recipe content isn’t passive media. A recipe’s ingredient list is close to a literal shopping list, which makes recipe pages one of the strongest signals of upcoming grocery purchases you can buy against. Readers are engaged, they aren’t skimming, and they’re open to discovering new products while they plan what to cook. That makes recipe pages a natural fit for:

  • new product launches
  • seasonal campaigns
  • driving trial for food, beverage and grocery brands

Who You’ll Reach

The core recipe audience is the Household Cook and Grocery Buyer: the person who decides what the household eats, which brands go in the cart and how the grocery budget is spent. They are reading a recipe because they are about to cook, so the grocery aisle is usually their next stop. The audience skews toward women aged 25 to 55, but it reaches anyone planning a meal.

A Brand-Safe Environment

Recipe content is positive, practical and aspirational by nature. There are no news-cycle surprises and no controversial adjacencies, so your brand appears next to something people want to cook. That makes recipe advertising one of the cleanest environments available at scale in digital media.

The 10 Million Recipes Segment gives you the full reach of Gourmet Ads in one buy. For brands that want more precision, Gourmet Ads also offers more than 200 food-based segments across five categories: Cuisines, Diets, Ingredients, Beverages and Recipe Type. Start with the full segment, then layer in or test specific segments, such as sourdough bakers, keto meal preppers or holiday bakers, as your campaign learns.
