I love your website but unfortunately you link to seriouseats recipes, which to me is the equivalent of quora for food. When searching online for recipes, I always "-seriouseats" or have the entire website in Firefox Block SERPs addon.

wow, pretty surprised by this. I often explicitly search for the seriouseats recipe -- they're usually much better than allrecipes, food.com, etc. Also Kenji's book (the Food Lab) is awesome.

Ah, yeah, that's the problem right there. If seriouseats is the quora of recipe websites then allrecipes is the "Yahoo! Answers" to that. Food.com just needs a shitty MIDI tune autoplaying and a couple of animated underconstruction signs and we could relaunch myspace all over again.

These days I have all three of those recipe websites, and others, blocked in my SERPs block add-on in the browser.

I guess I unintentionally turned in to a recipe snob over the years. But I simply don't trust a lot of online recipes.
