Online recipe decrapifier

[Gurke and Hare]

This site is great: https://cooked.wiki/

If you've got a recipe page with all that crap story stuff you get on recipe pages, you can just put "cooked.wiki/" before the url and it gets rid of it and just gives you a page with the recipe.

Try it on https://travelerslunchbox.com/2005/09/02/the-well-salted-tart/ then go and make a delicious pudding without having to wade through a load of crap.

This is superb and I will still never make anything with more than 3 ingredients

[famethrowa]

That is brilliant. You try making Brazilian Cheese Bread without having to wade through family history of 400 years of South America first! Many thanks

finally I can avoid being patronised about how to pronounce shakshuka

Apparently online recipes come with all that extra bumpf because it isn't actually possible to copyright a recipe but it is possible to copyright an article containing one. That and the writers need hits on their ads. I can't blame them really but I do always appreciate the ones who include a handy "jump to recipe" button.

Great tool, thanks G&H. Now I just need one that converts all the stupid olden days measurements American food bloggers still insist on using.

[Kankurette]

This is going to be handy, I use the odd online recipe and it is a PITA having to scroll past people talking about how this cake was their nan's favourite recipe or whatever.

Blue, I hate using Yank sites for this reason, with their cups and sticks. Some of them at least have a metric bit as well.

Bread, cheese, ketchup, bosh.

A cup of cilantro
A stick of budder

If someone could create a similar thing for CaB to get rid of the complaints about Americans using American terminology that would also be great.

I've tried it on Mollusk's latest IDLES post, seems to have worked

It's search optimisation thing. There was a time when websites would just automatically scrape recipes off the internet, and then present them all as "content". Google decided they didn't like this so pushes copy-pasta way down the rankings. The long-boring stories about someone's dad giving them beans on toast are recognised as "original content" so google doesn't penalise the pages. It's just a shame it can't distinguish shite content.

There's a browser extension that decrapifies the recipes too.

I'm pretty sure you can copyright recipes; also instructions, knitting patterns etc.

That's four.

You can copyright an article containing a recipe if it includes photos, original writing etc but you actually can't copyright a list of ingredients and amounts (methods are bit of a grey area). If you're a food blogger you could post up a Jamie Oliver recipe as long as you strip out all his descriptive writing and don't reuse the photos and you'd be fine:

he likes american things

[Senior Baiano]

Yeah alright Mr, uh

<tries to think of a good zing>

Mr America... Lover. Yeah you love america. You want to marry it,

[gabrielconroy]

I use the Recipe Filter add-on for Firefox (think it's on Chrome as well if you must) that does the same thing automatically. Oh how I enjoy it so.

Combined with Everything Metric to convert weird American units like a cup of beans or whatever, and you will be laughing manically more or less all day long.

As someone funnier than me said: "Onions don't come in cups. They come in onions".

[Russ L]

I'll bet a pound that someone who posts on here also comes in onions.

[Butchers Blind]

Good stuff. Get that banana loaf recipie without reading about the woman's cancer recovery.

[shoulders]

He knows his onions, in the biblical sense

Yeah I wish she'd just shut the fuck up about that, nobody cares and they're hungry.

Molesting shallots is more CaBberesque.
