I have been pulling recipes off of ChatGPT because of this nonsense.
I got you https://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com
(Click the meals name to get the recipe)
do not visit the site if curse words isn't your thing

This is going in my bookmarks next to http://motherfuckingwebsite.com
ooh, just you wait until chatgpt learns how to write recipes "properly"
Fuck, that is going to be so irritating when it can create long responses with “relevant” ads.
Ooh this is brilliant. I actually bought some recipe books because I was so fucking sick of scrolling through 40 paragraphs of bullshit about the blogger’s life before they put the fucking 6 ingredient list up
I fucking hate these. Also made me think about making my own website with simple straight to the point recipies.
Sadly no one would find it because of SEO.
If we find something (usually on Pinterest) that we like, I will paste it in a Word document, format it, print it out, and put it in the recipe binder that sits in our kitchen counter. It's old school but it works.

I’ve been wanting to create a GraphQL-powered Docker container that allows you to “plug in” various recipe websites.
I’d almost rather write a query from scratch than scroll at this point.
I use a terrific app called Paprika. It strips the nonsense SEO trash off and saves it locally in categories with pictures from the site. It can scale recipes up and down by whatever you percentage you want and can also convert metric to freedom units, etc. It can build shopping lists if you want for it to.
You aren't mentioning the best parts.
Paprika can synchronize recipes across multiple devices and it doesn't cost a membership.
You can set up an entire family with all of the recipes. No longer must you print them out, and hand them out like some kind of filthy peasant. Or worse hand over that Bobby Flay cookbook from 1932. Jst click save on your own end, and they already have it. You can also share them as professional looking emails.
Paprika can also scale the recipe with each ingredient. E.g. you scale that crack chicken recipe from 1x to 4x because you've got family coming. Now instead of fumbling through 4.8 tsp Oil times 4 - it'll just list . 5 Cup Oil.
I didn't want to oversell it because it's "just" a recipe app. 😊
It also has a setting that prevents your phone from going to lock screen. I can't tell you how helpful that is when your hands are covered in biscuit dough or hamburger meat.
I've been using RSS for blogs I like / trust and using they for new recipe discovery
