Jump To Recipe

Not so very long ago When I wanted to bake I would go to my cookbooks For a recipe to make Tattered and stained they were History literally splattered on Notes written like ‘doubles well’ Or ‘sponge cake by Yvonne’ ….sometimes even a photo….. Today for recipes I scroll the net Searching methodically For the only tab I want to find Labelled ‘Jump to Recipe’ Now, I don’t know about you But I don’t want to be besieged By pages and pages of text Cut and pasted for me to read I know it’s to maximise SEOs And other such kinds of device But for God’s sake, get to the point When ingredients and method suffice I don’t want to know the origin Of different pasta shapes Or how cinnamon got its name Or rare varieties of grapes I have no objection at all To a small communique But screeds of text turn me off So I’ve ordered a takeaway
