If you write a recipe, don't forget to start the post by a long story that recounts your whole life and your grand parents'. A recipe without this doesn't taste good, and everybody is interested in your story. A few pages of this annoys nobody I know.
- komadori 2y agoOne time I was baking a cake from an online recipe, probably just after recipe sites discovered the importance of verbosity for SEO. I found myself struggling a bit because the recipe wasn't very clearly structured and was quite vague about several of the steps, but I managed to work something out and get it in the oven. It was only then that I discovered what I had been reading was an anecdote about one time the author had baked this cake, and the actual method was given below!
