The anti–recipe-blog.

You know the drill: you search for a recipe and get a 2,000-word story, four pop-ups, a newsletter beg, an autoplay video, and — somewhere beneath the ads — the actual food.

We refuse all of it. Every page here is the recipe: title, ingredients, steps, source. Nothing else. No ads for anyone, ever — free users included.

Where the recipes come from

Every recipe is from a public-domain or openly licensed source — USDA and federal nutrition programs, and classic American cookbooks whose copyrights have expired — ingested as structured data with attribution and a link to the source. 2772 sourced recipes today, and growing. We never scrape creators' sites, and that headline never includes AI-generated content.

Separately from the sourced catalog, the site holds 7916 machine-generated recipe ideas (with 492084 ingredient-swap variations). Every one is labeled machine-generated on its own page, none is counted in the number above, and search and browse leave them out unless you ask to include them.

How it stays free

Browsing and search are free forever. If you want the kitchen workflow — unlimited saves, collections, a meal planner, automatic grocery lists, cook mode, and recipe scaling — that's Plus: $12 a year. A dollar a month, billed once.
