I just started transcribing every recipe I make. Even if you can extract all the essential information from a recipe site, some changes are needed: - I need to convert recipes to metric. I am neither equipped nor inclined to cook in freedom units. - A "can" or a "packet" is not a standard unit of measurement. - Package sizes vary between countries. I often adjust recipes to avoid wasting food. - I cook by mass, not volume. I convert the units them round them. - Instructions are sometimes too verbose. I make them easier to follow while my hands are busy. - I will make my own changes and I must write them down somewhere. Besides, sites go down and links break. Food.com broke many of my bookmarks a few years ago. Other sites went dark. My recipes are plain text. They are editable, searchable, editable, and available offline. |
