They either copy a recipe from a successful chef’s successful cookbook or copy some other blogger’s recipe. They often aren’t actual cooks, just folks trying to make money in new media. They make a recipe once for the camera and publish whether it’s edible or not.

I m back to perusing my stash of cookbooks. Very ’old school’ but it works.

And lest I tarnish all food blogs I do trust Serious Eats, Rick Bayless, Kenji Alt-Lopez and some others.
