I don’t get it
Food and cooking blogs have an intro paragraph where the writer describes how the recipe they are going to talk about is related to their life. This is a joke about trauma dumping and pivoting into a fun idea, this joke being about the vast emotional difference between making a lava cake and holding a loved one as they die.
It’s way more than a paragraph. And it’s stupid SEO bullshit.
I found one specifically with a lava cake recipe. Here’s how much there is before the recipe. And this is relatively short compared to some of what I’ve seen and also more on topic than a lot of them too.

I’ve got a Firefox extension to remove all this shit. I like a short story about why it’s special, I hate 10 printed pages of SEO.
Recipe Filter is pretty great.
Need a therapist? Just start a recipe blog.
I would legitimately be down with a website that prefaces recipes with dark stories like this, instead of the mundane stuff about how your kid didn’t like to eat anything but then you made this and blah blah blah
