  1. This is utter BS and a lie. While SOME sites may include useful info, the majority include all the extra nonsense to increase their Google page score. Its part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which can increase how close to the "top" of the results they are.

    Length of time on a page, how deep you click, blah blah blah. All the BS is there to inflate engagement so they can make more off of ad revenue.

  4. I see that there are high lighted things on the recipes, I do that to any unusual ingredients, methods, pan sizes, and time and temp. Makes them stand out and easy to find. I note date made and rating, also any changes to make, etc.
    Lots of sites have a jump to recipe button. I sometimes do that to check ingredients because there are things I'm never going to buy, like regular cake mixes and cream of anything soup. I do use angel food and brownie mixes. 😊

  6. Yeah, publishers and chefs, stop with the autobiographical BS sob/aww stories. I'm here to cook, not read how your grandma made the "same" dish using struggle ingredients. Thank you!

    A well written recipe should be able to fit on an index/Rolodex card.

  10. Maybe an FAQ is nice before starting but if I have to scroll pages and pages before getting to ingredients and instructions, I'm a bit discouraged to keep using the site/recipe.
    I get it, the "life story" is the only way to protect the article with copyright (rather than just the recipe), bur still.

  13. I love recipes that are properly written. Internet posters should learn to use the proper words like chop, dice and mince as opposed to cut up. And I don’t want to know their family history, state of their marriage and what color they are painting their kitchen. And the phrases such as go in with and dump make me not want to try the recipe at all. Seriously go in with sounds like they are going to hop in the pan. Rant over.
