AFAIK it has to be like that because you can’t copyright a recipe. But, you can copyright the rest. The other reason is SEO. Dump as many keywords into the text as possible, and the recipe shows up near the top of the search results.
What I like are tools that can find the recipe in the text and extract it. The one in the Paprika app works really well.
Okay but why then can they not just put that bullshit part AFTER the recipe?
Answer: because they’re brutally annoying people and I hate them with every fibre of my being.
They do it so visitors have to stay longer/see more of the page furthering google SEO

Also the longer they make the article the more places for ads. Most websites are cool about this and add a “jump to recipe” button, but many don’t so they can get more ad revenue.
Wait until they figure out they could ask chatgpt to intertwine the made up childhood story and the recipe, then we’re all screwed:
The smell of freshly cut grass on my granny’s farm; I can remember it like it was yesterday, when she asked me to bring 3 large eggs from the chicken coop. Preferably from Helen, she was the strongest layer of all her hens, the cakes always seemed to taste better when we used her eggs. Maybe it was because she was a free range hen who got at least 3000 steps per day…
Please god no 😭
… whilst her good friend, Lady Daisy, chewed grass thoughtfully in the field adjacent. I kissed her thrice upon the brow before acquiring 5.2 ounces of milk from her bodacious underside. She looked at me then and frowned, legs akimbo, betwixt with a nascent expression of puzzlement suitable only to mothers and lovers…
Put this in front of any recipe link https://cooked.wiki/
I mean, its annoying but its a free resource and they have to keep people in their site longer to get more engagement for add and such.
If you don’t want to deal with that, buy recipe books.
Recipe books pull the same shit
