I'll also tell you how easy it is to distinguish a really "working" recipe from an empty, meaningless set of sentences on a culinary theme.
Recently, leafing through the feed in Zen, I came across my photo. This is a photo of my favorite quick pickled cabbage. A recipe that many of my subscribers have already repeated and are now constantly preparing and thank me in the comments. Because this is a really delicious salad (at the end of the article I will leave a link to this recipe).
But then suddenly my cabbage turned into a Korean "Surprise" salad... And the salad turned out to be very popular. Because Elizabeth says that it is very tasty and "she prepares such a salad all the time." Here is a card for this article. I do not leave a link to the article, because, most likely, it has already been removed for violating my copyright.
But it's a shame not that my photo is used to write some kind of invented recipe, but that this article was read by many housewives and, perhaps, someone tried to reproduce this "recipe" ...
I made screenshots of the article. Read it. Without words...
Tell me how, after such "recipes", you can believe what is written on the net? Of course, many are disappointed! And then I get comments "I DO NOT BELIEVE RECIPES FROM THE INTERNET!"
BUT! A normal, "working" recipe is easy to tell! Look at the step by step photos. If there are no step by step photos, then this is just a stolen photo from the Internet, as in this article, which I gave as an example.
Why, if, as the "author" writes, "she constantly prepares this salad", she did not take at least a couple of additional photos? Or AT LEAST ONE !!!
If the "author" cannot reply to comments until someone from the readers prompts (see the screen below), then this is not the author, but simply a "writer" who uses stolen photos and "leftist" recipes from the net!
Have you noticed the amount of spice in the ingredients? There are a lot of them and they are all added by 1 tsp. Turmeric too - 1 tsp??? Can you imagine what color a salad would be from that amount of turmeric? But no one thinks about it, unfortunately...
Write in the comments what do you think about it?
But, as promised, the salad recipe, which is in the photo:
And here's the correct recipe:
