They really enshittified the internet so hard that it’s more convenient to have these bulky ass (expensive too if you don’t get second hand…) books that you have to flick through and find room to store and try not to spill shit on and stick little bookmarks in to save commonly used recipe, god damn.
For years I used a search engine, and used Pinterest a lot too to save recipes and categorise them. But the SEO slop, the AI slop, the ads…. It’s just become horrific half the time. I did try downloading a few eBooks and pdfs but the format is really not great for cookbooks.
If anyone has any recommendations for sites or apps that aren’t fucking terrible I would love that. Especially 
ones.
I follow this Tumblr blog: https://fattributes.tumblr.com/
Not vegan but they have a vegan tag and regularly share vegan recipes.
You can use Firefox reader mode (I think Chromium has an equivalent) to get rid of most of the crap.
Then if a recipe is actually good (i.e. I want to make it again) I’ll transcribe it into my notes app. I’d have to do this regardless of how well-formatted the website is, because if I make a recipe repeatedly I’m going to change it and iterate over it, so I need something I can edit. As long the original recipe is at all legible, you can transcribe it. Even if you don’t change a recipe, a lot of the time the recipe may have wording that’s confusing or it doesn’t mention something like you need to save something for later—you can write out instructions that make the most sense for you and work the way your brain works, even if you haven’t actually changed the recipe.
