Make a patreon. If you're involved with a community (doesn't have to be on the site, can be a parallel cooking discord), you will have plenty of opportunities to monetize via that route and make a good living with it. Patron-only exclusives such as blog posts once in a while can help immensely to make users feel good about donating money to you -- makes them feel like they got good value out of it. Exclusives could be something cooking themed, and maybe featuring patron submissions (recipe submissions) on your site sometimes. Email me if you want to chat about this. Good luck otherwise.
