Not with that prompt; the "terms of use" link at allrecipes.com leads to https://www.dotdashmeredith.com/terms-of-use, which claims copyright on all the stuff on there, and explicitly prohibits scraping "for any commercial, marketing, or data compiling or enhancing purpose."

They can claim anything they want, but I don’t believe recipes are protected by copyright.
Reminds me of Hackerrank claiming copyright on solutions to problems.

Come on, the argument is very simple.

If you mimic generic-enough patterns like fitting a style, your work is not derivative.

You can say that standard is not met here, but don't pretend the entire concept is nonsensical or confusing.
