AFAIK it has to be like that because you can't copyright a recipe. But, you can copyright the rest. The other reason is SEO. Dump as many keywords into the text as possible, and the recipe shows up near the top of the search results.

What I like are tools that can find the recipe in the text and extract it. The one in the Paprika app works really well.

Okay but why then can they not just put that bullshit part AFTER the recipe?

Answer: because they’re brutally annoying people and I hate them with every fibre of my being.

They do it so visitors have to stay longer/see more of the page furthering google SEO

Most of them have a "jump to recipe" button at the top of the page.

Almost every recipie page I see has a prominent 'jump to recipie' button right at the top of the page.

Look into "jump to recipe," an option frequently included at the top of many recipe pages.

Also the longer they make the article the more places for ads. Most websites are cool about this and add a “jump to recipe” button, but many don’t so they can get more ad revenue.

Or just Ctrl+F "Print". Most pages have the link to print the recipe right above the actual recipe itself.
