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/

    The site being down fits with the ‘for engineers’ theme

    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….
