When looking up recipes online these days….

Can anyone tell my why it’s necessary for one to have to wade through loads of pictures, a random human’s genealogy and cooking prowess, the etymology of lamb, various opinions on cooking lamb in western civilization, and pop up windows galore just to the to the actual recipe, internal temperature and time for one desiring to sous vide lamb chops?
For the good old days of index cards in a box with recipes on them that get straight to the point.

We need to know something about the person posting the recipe before we can cook it with the same love as the author.

Make you type “cream pie recipe”, not just cream pie!!!
But yes, I know what you’re talking about. You click on a recipe, you gotta scroll for 30 mins and close out pop ups, just to get to the recipe.

Yeah, if the first sentence is about some backstory(“this recipe I used when visiting my sick mother”), i would leave and go to a new site. I’m in the mode for searching facts and infos, I want facts and info. If I wanted an inspirational story, I would read a fictional story.

It's all about algorithms and search indexes.
I just wish the jump to recipe was in bold large font.

If it doesn’t have “jump to recipe“ I’ll pass.

It's terrible.

Someone on here recommended Paprika
It’s an app that has its own browser
Look up the recipe & download it into the app
It was 30.00 but I’ve found it very useful

Agreed. It takes forever to get to the recipe at the bottom.

It's a Google thing. Your result won't show up in a search unless you do that.
There are free Chrome extensions that auto-jump you to the recipe.

It seems like sites are getting better about having a skip to recipe button.

Worth the $30 for the crossover to mobile app access alone. I frequently open Paprika when I'm making groceries.

I still use the recipe box with index cards.

When you open a website, you'll notice a "scroll bar" to the right of the page. The length of the movable bar indicates the length of the webpage. The longer the movable bar, the shorter the page and the shorter the movable bar, the longer the page. If there is not a "jump to recipe" button, use the movable bar to bypass the B.S. and navigate directly to the recipe. This will save you time.

Because food bloggers are trying to make a career out of it and separate themselves from the pack. It's annoying....but if someone has a click to recipe link at the top of the page then I'll forgive all of the above.

I blame a lot of this on the most pretentious shite in food TV. "This dish tells a story"
Sure. Maybe it does. But if the food doesn't taste good STFU. I can tell a story about how I was broke and eating pizzas that cost 89 cents at circle K when I was in college and serve that to someone.
I think a lot of this is just bored food writers and chefs that want to make their culinary experiences seem more soulful.

I believe this trend started around the same time that places like Popeyes and McDonalds started advertising "artisan chicken sandwiches" and "hand breaded chicken tenders"

I really need to know that your kids and hubby love this meal and ask for it all the time.
Posted on 6/19/22 at 9:23 am to Mike da Tigah
When I see pop ups, I back out and find another site.

I tend to stick to sites that aren't someone's personal blog - Serious Eats, NYTimes Cooking, Food and Wine, etc. I find they have less ads and are smoother to navigate.
Plus, they pay people to develop and test recipes, so you're less likely to get a dud. Someone blogging from home isn't doing much testing on their recipe.
