Recipes are almost impossible to copyright so they tack on a story so they can publish it as original content.

My favorites have the "Skip to recipe" button at the top. Love those people. Fairly certain the crazy long stories help google ratings.

Yeah at least give us the option of whether or not we want to suffer through a story

Yeah, no, that’s instant „let’s look somewhere else“ for me.

That’s what you get if you’re too cheap to buy a cookbook. Ctrl-F 1 Cup usually will race right to the recipe.

Hence the small service of scrolling past inane bullshit to get ad count.

Search algorithms put you on page nine or worse unless you satisfy lots of ad views before you get to the desired content

Or when they put the step by step instructions before the ingredients like some kind of psychopath.

You forgot about all the ads and pop up videos now too. Finding a recipe online drives me crazy. I'd rather have a cookbook library.

I mean I usually read the backstory I think it’s kinda nice but sometimes it’s really annoying when it’s like literally 20 pages 1/2

And like after 19 pages of story the recipe is like condensed into half a page that’s worded really badly

If you want a really decadent but tasty one, here you go: in a saucepan, cook some srimps with shallots and garlic, after they're cooked 1/2

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You can de-shell the shrimps, put em back in the saucepan and add cooking cream and lemon juice to taste , wait until cream reduces a bit

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Then add grated parmesan to thicken the sauce, add salt pepper to taste n that part's done, now one trick i like to do

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is take the pastas and put them in the saucepan and finish the last bit of cooking in the sauce, it makes em absorbs the flavors

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

With this recipe although, i'd highly recommend adding mussels or anchovies to it (they can be put same time as shrimp, be sure to throw out

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Any unopened mussels)

Guys, all of this has to do with SEO and Google's algorithm. If you don't like it, stop giving those sites your attention.

I use an app called Paprika 3 to scrape those website and just hand me the recipe.

They do this for ad reveneu. The longer the story, the more ads you scroll past, making them more money. Its nothing more than that.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Thats why if you look at Kraft or Campbell websites there is no stories. They dont need the ad money, they just want you on their site

It has to do with copyright. Recipes can't be copyrighted, but a story and a recipe can.

Anchovies? What about shrimp and lobster meat instead

Well the anchovies melt, and end up giving the sauce an awesome seafoody flavour, without taking away from whatever actual seafood you add.
