Someone is sitting on the jumptorecipe.com domain. My fantasy is they're working on a simple website with recipes, and none of the babbling prose or instructive ads.

Reality is such a site probably can't make money, and I don't know why today's Google would bother even crawling it.

There was a chrome plugin, “Recipe Filter” which produced a beautiful recipe card to print or read from whatever site you threw at it. It worked really well.

The author got tonnes of backlash/abuse from people writing recipe sites.

Yeah, the site operators' perspective is that such an extension is same as an adblocker. But everyone else's perspective is that (a) they're hungry and (b) see (a).

Recipe sites aren't exactly high stakes, but they're one of the worst mismatches between the needs of customers and the business plans of providers. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that solving the recipe-site problem is isomorphic to saving the web.
