Whats odd about the recipe story is my folks have accumulated quite a collection of cookbooks over the years, yet for mysterious reasons both prefer to endlessly scroll through the ad infested nightmare on every cooking site recommended by the Google app. Some of these sites have an Ad after every sentence.



As somebody that has quite a few shelf-meters (shelf-yards) of cookbooks: If I'm looking for a specific recipe, it's still faster to go through the online recipes than getting out the cookbooks and going through the index and finding it. My phone is also more practical to lug around than a cookbook.


Thats true.
