Almost Perfect

The issue I’ve had is I have to “save” recipes twice for them to save to a particular topic. If only “save” them once, they don’t save. Otherwise, this website is amazing. It even works with some crochet and knit websites!

Recipes without the life story

This application is invaluable for recipes. No more scrolling through pop-up video ads or detailed information about the authors trip to Italy or their families health conditions. Just the recipe you wanted, and nicely formatted.
