In German there's chefkoch.de. It's full of ads but its core is basically a
big DB of user-submitted recipes without fluff. Don't you have
something like that in English?
- Symbiote 6y agoI usually add "BBC" to my search term, which ① gets a straightforward page and ② ensures the measurements and oven temperatures will be metric. The further from the UK one is, the less useful this is. The measurements should only be a problem in the US and Canada, but common ingredients can change -- e.g. the fat content of cream, or whether canned tomatoes are salted or sweetened. Also, if you're from the rest of the world, you might wonder why they've forgotten the herbs and spices :-)
- jackewiehose 6y ago> I usually add "BBC" to my search term Do you mean at chefkoch- or google-search? Yes, recipes are very hard to translate. For example I don't know what "cream" is and I never want extra sugar or salt in canned tomatoes.
- Symbiote 6y agoI mean in Google search, or any other general web search. It's probably less necessary from the UK, but from Denmark an English-language recipe search has a good chance of giving American websites. Americans have to suffer sugary and salty canned tomatoes.
