2. Hi, Ellen. About recipes:

Most on the web are freely available, but encased in scads of popup's, subscription nags, affiliate links and of course, long, drawn out tales of how to make the recipe, as if we don't know a spoon from a dishwasher. And life stories.

They really are clickbait.

FWIW, I bought hard copies of many of Marcella Hazan's ( not Shazam's, idiot autocorrect wants to say) cookbooks. (used) Great stuff.

I personally use Paprika App (not free, and this is not a plug ) and stick with the old version 2, because the new version 3 costs an awful lot for the desktop version, and they synch with each other, mobile and desktop.

That said, there was a website that cleared out all the ads and clutter: Recipeasly, but the bloggers needed the ads and affiliate links preserved, so they badgered it off the net.

There are extensions for chrome and Firefox that claim to cut the clutter. I have not tried them, but am passing them along.

Recipe filter for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/recipe-filter/

Recipe filter for chrome.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recipe-filter/ahlcdjbkdaegmljnnncfnhiioiadakae

Should work with Opera Browser.
