Annoying that they did not even mention the original site: https://www.cookingforengineers.com/
Which does seem down right now, so archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20260729050049/https://www.cookingforengineers.com/
I found the recipe but apparently the design in the OP wasn't perfect, they have slightly updated it: https://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/327/Espresso-Brownies
The site being down fits with the ‘for engineers’ theme
Just because we can't code for shit and insist on doing everything ourselves…
Damn, even that site has a life story before a recipe
Very cool tho
If you put a recipe on your webpage Google will ignore that shit. Butter and eggs? So few words, many numbers. Boring.
So you have to add a narrative if you want search engines to pay any attention, or even count the page as content.
Google could just fix this, but no, we've all adjusted to it.
I had no idea it was about too few words. I always thought it was that they add all that fluff to maximize their advertising revenue, making you scroll and scroll through a story before you find the recipe. Seems like either way, it’s thanks to Google….
Interestingly, not the whole site is down, but the homepage is
This guy was the foundation of my cooking skills... 20 years ago. Damn.
