Interesting! I wrote https://plainoldrecipe.com (open source!) to solve this, an inadvertently discovered many of the metadata tags described here.

The irony is that the content is required for SEO purposes, but once you’ve landed on the page you don’t want to see it. I wonder if there would be a way to write SEO that only the google bot sees and hide it from humans...

Your header says "plan old recipe"
Which is just dripping with irony? serendipity?
There is a way to present different things for the google bot and humans, but it can and should result in Google ban. You're probably aware and I'm a bit too verbatim.
