Recipe bloggers are unneeded when the Dictionnaire Larousse Gastronomique is available for free on archive.org. Where else could one learn to “Préparer une volaille en crapaudine”?
Escoffier is also free, but equally irrelevant to most modern cooking needs.
Unless one is planning to cook a massive state dinner or open a classic French restaurant, that is.
(The rest of us sometimes want a recipe for “what can I do with X and Y?” or “how do you make _____?”)
Comment dit-on «giggity» en Français?
I have not cooked anything remotely complicated in years but am glad to know how. I think people who intend to cook regularly should start with a good book which teaches the principles. Joy of Cooking or Mastering the Art of French Cooking would be sufficient for most. I’m a bit more enthusiastic, so I enjoy my hardcover Larousse Gastronomique and The Professional Chef.

Many of the top recipe sites already have the “funnel” monetized. Something that would help the audience from participating in the SEO game is to put a “Click here to jump to the recipe” button at the top after a short one paragraph intro.
These days everyone is a philosopher.
They think because they have the best grilled cheese sandwich recipe that everyone wants to hear their deep philosophy.
You’ll note the same characteristic in Hollywood stars:
Just because they did a passable job on their last made-for-tv movie they figure their philosophy is minted out of pure gold and must be shared with the hoi polloi.
You doubt that local-sourced, organically raised, grass-fed cows raised in co-operative farming co-op that provides wellness-care for the participants make the best sustainable butter for grilled cheese sandwiches?
