Reminds me of my mother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe! Who doesn’t love the warm gooey smell of chocolate chips? Here’s her instructions when we asked for cookies:
- go to the fucking store
- and buy the goddamn cookies there, you think I’m your fucking slave?
- if you don’t have money then get a fucking job
- christ, you ruined my life.
- hey, just kidding, can’t you take a joke? no wonder you’re so fat.
MMMM! The heartwarming memories of childhood!

This isn’t even the worst of it. Now you have to dig through copious amounts of AI slop to find a real recipe. I just use classic recipe books instead. Some of them might be over a hundred years old but the recipes work.
Along with relying more on old recipe books, I’ve been using DuckDuckGo’s ‘date’ filter to limit my searchs to 2005-2015 (just easy to modify a single 2 in each year as they default to 2025) and it’s helped with avoiding AI slop for recipes.
There’s an extension for this.

Yeah this is why I run a Mealie instance at home. Does a similar thing but also saves it to my own server where I can favorite things, setup cooking mode (shows ingredients per step), and even go to the original URL if my import missed something.
I still get the daily All Recipes emails about their recipe of the day and I’ve taken to deleting them immediately if they don’t give me the dish’s name in the subject because I’ll never have a need to look in my email for that recipe that some celebrity’s grandmother made for them as a kid.

Founded to provide a simple online cookbook without ads and obese web design.
SEO ruined the Internet
and advertising to get those extra ad placements up
Yep. And incidentally publicities/the possibility to ear money from it.
Otherwise it would have stayed an unprotected nerd-space… What a shame.
