Bye-Bye Recipes

By chimo on (updated on )

I’ve removed the “recipes” section from this site.

None of them were mine. At best, they should’ve been filed under “bookmarks”. The reason why this wasn’t the case though is because recipe websites tend to be riddled with ads, auto-playing videos, paragraphs of back-stories/intro (likely as an attempt to boost SEO rankings), etc.

I know about the “Reader Mode”/“Print version” trick that sometimes hides all of the cruft, as well as online tools such as Just the Recipe, but I wanted a “local” cleaned-up version that I could find easily. As a quick-fix, I’ve just been dumping them here until now.

They are now being hosted on a separate static-site inside of my LAN. It cleans-up this site a little bit, as well as takes care of potential copyright issues that come with yanking a recipe from somewhere, stripping the cruft and reposting them publicly elsewhere.

Anyway. If, for whatever reason, you had subscribed to the recipes.xml RSS feed specifically (every section of this website has its own RSS feed), then it’ll 404 now. This is why.
