Slightly off topic but one place where the level of garbage really hits me is looking up recipes. All recipe sites are crammed full of garbage keywords for SEO.

Slightly off topic but one place where the level of garbage really hits me is looking up recipes. All recipe sites are crammed full of garbage keywords for SEO. If that’s not done by AI it might as well be. I only care about 1) the ingredients 2) cooking instructions and 3) maybe a picture. If someone would make a wiki recipe that’s the only site I would ever use.

I can’t recall the name but someone will surely reply with what you’re looking for - it does exist but obviously would never show up in search results. Nothing irritates me more than having to skim a 600 word essay on how this is the perfect meal to make on Wednesdays when Timmy has soccer practice but Sarah needs to be at piano shortly after, and how your Uncle who doesn’t like spices said it was the best meal he’s ever had a potluck where a storm knocked out the power and dishes couldn’t be heated in the oven.

I thought maybe fandom has it, and sure: https://recipes.fandom.com/ https://recipes.fandom.com/ Modern art of searching became remembering hub sites and avoiding direct-querying actual search engines. Seems we’re almost back to “portals” epoch.

You'll absolutely need that particular Heinz sauce, and himalayan cayenne pepper, best cooked in [producer] cooker. Cooking recipes on the web are dead rotting corpses. The only salvation are ebooks of reputable cooking books.

> I only care about 1) the ingredients 2) cooking instructions and 3) maybe a picture. Why not buy a proper recipe book then? They offer exactly what you want, with no bait and switch. You aren't paying for that person's web hosting, what do they care what you want?
