The most frustrating thing about Google for me these days is searching for recipes. Every web page that should have an extremely straightforward, straight to the point list of ingredients and instructions now has to use every fucking SEO trick in the book. Because otherwise, the page won't be considered "high quality" enough by Google and won't rank anywhere close to page 1.

This of course leads to a huge page with someone's life story interspersed with the actual cooking ingredients/instructions. It's so common to see some something like: "My mother used to make me this dish for me when I was a child and it's my favorite thing to cook in the winter time now, blah blah blah."

No one fucking cares! Give me the recipe in one concise, step by step list!
