Why do random people's recipes have any credibility? Versus, say, Cook's Illustrated or Serious Eats.
- hedora 5y agoThey certainly have more credibility that the SEO optimized stuff that search engines produce these days. Google search used to have editors. If they still do, it would be great if they boosted the CMU recipe page rank by 100x or so...
- xtiansimon 5y ago‘Credibility’ in what sense? (IE. ‘credible witness’?). I would guess random people’s recipes are useful as big data if the data set is diverse with a long history. Unfortunately I can’t find a statement about the dataset to qualify this point
- mhb 5y agoIn the sense that I would want to invest time and money in making the recipe they are suggesting based on their recommendation.
- xtiansimon 5y agoI belive this is for historical and research purposes, but I may be wrong.
