Never seen one without a “jump to recipe” button at the top, and I read a lot of recipes. So this is only stupidity on the readers part.
Search engine optimization ruined the web. Change my mind!
As a web guy, absolutely. It’s the fucking worst
No, you’re right
Honestly this has been the only thing I regularly use AI for. Recipes without BS.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes
Type in any dish, get just the recipe. From a pro chef.
Now I need instructions on how to change my oven from F to C
I use AI to extract recipes and import them into my recipe manager rather than generate them. Both from hyper SEO’d websites, and physical books (take picture with phone).
How did the glue spaghetti taste?
There are still a couple no bullshit sites out there, but they aren’t hyper seo pits so they don’t show up in a lot of searches. America’s test kitchen is the one I use most
Ooh, this one looks promising thanks!
Forgot the part “why would you want to make this brew?” “How can it benefit your life?”
Think about everything, are you ready to commit into cooking?
Do you have access to a kitchen?
I learned a fun fact about old recipes last night… There’s a new edition of a cookbook published in 1866:
https://www.npr.org/2025/02/20/nx-s1-5299983/first-cookbook-by-black-american-woman-malinda-russell
But the recipes are a little inscrutable:
“One pound flour. One ditto butter. Nine eggs. Two quarts milk. A little yeast mixed together warm.”
WTF is a “ditto”?
See also here from 1806:
https://www.tastinghistory.com/recipes/routcakes
“Rout Drop Cakes. Mix two pounds of flour, one ditto butter, one ditto sugar, one ditto currants, clean and dry; then wet into a stiff paste, with two eggs, a large spoon of orange-flower water, ditto rose-water, ditto sweet wine, ditto brandy, drop on a tin-plate floured; a very short time bakes them.”
It makes more sense if you lay it out like a modern recipe:
two pounds of flour
two pounds (one ditto) butter
two pounds (one ditto) sugar
two pounds (one ditto) currants
two eggs
a large spoon of orange-flower water
a large spoon of (ditto) rose-water
a large spoon of (ditto) sweet wine
a large spoon of (ditto) brandyThis seems very similar to the OG all recipies website. Most of their website isn’t that bad still. They also support creating an account to save and organize recipies.
I do not understand the fragmentation of the modern web.
Want to send money to a friend? Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Google pay, Apple cash, Popmoney, etc. There’s also the growing swath of messaging apps that support peer to peer payment.
Want to buy some second hand clothing? There’s Poshmark, Offer Up, Thread Up, Depop, Vinted, Etsy, Grailed, the RealReal, Craigslist, eBay, Facebook Market Place, etc. This is on top of the usual retailers who are also establishing an online presence like Plato’s closet, goodwill, etc.
Rinse and repeat for basically any category possible. I’m running into consumer fatigue and I can’t imagine it’s better for sellers.
Ahem, there is no “as a service”. You provide a recipe and it gets “cleared” for you. No login required at all.The other stuff is just additional features. But removing any clutter from any recipe is a easy as pasting an URL.From this: https://www.zuckerjagdwurst.com/de/rezepte/karamellisierte-lauch-pastaTo this: https://cooked.wiki/new/recent/12cdd9b0-ee17-4735-aa62-dd630bd699f6Again, not even an account required. In fact you can just prefix any url with “https://cooked.wiki/” and it will work.
My rant wasn’t aimed at cooked.wiki, more the general state of the web these days.
That is ace!
