This does it. When I get on my computer, I will cancel my subscription despite the good recipes.

You can also just put `cooked.wiki/` infront of the URL! Almost all recipe sites publish the bare bones recipe in a machine-readable format for scrapers. That’s how Paprika etc get the data these days. Cooked.wiki is a web based & free variant.

Cooked - Your Smart Cookbookcooked.wiki Are you tired of scattered recipes from the internet? Cooked transforms those long cluttered pages into a short version which you can save and read while cooking. Even works with videos!

Thanks!

Also bsky.app/profile/numb...

This is a great way to remove paywall from almost any article. Just create the bookmarklet, and click it when reading a paywalled article.

Create new bookmark, Call it Archive, and put this as the URL javascript:window.location=`https://archive.is/search/?q=${encodeURIComponent Save it to your bookmarks bar so it's always available and you can just click the button to automatically paste the page you're on to archive.

📌

You can also use Pocket more generally

Pocket subverts the paywall? That’s very good to know.

Yes indeed

You can also just turn off Javascript in your browser settings for the NYT site. That makes the recipes available, and also works for most of the articles.

@gwillow.me Did you see this fantastic news re NYT recipes?

Holy crap, this is great

this is treasured knowledge to have

Came here to say this

I will do so when I get home (currently abroad)

Thank you! Am trying to convince my 79 year old mother to toss the NYT… She’s been a subscriber for decades… She is super left wing, liberal, anti-gun… Dunno if I’ll succeed

Oh?? Can it import my saved favs? That’s the one thing I’m afraid of losing.

This doesn’t sever financial ties to NYT 100% , but you can just subscribe to NYT cooking separately from the newspaper. The app is $6/mo. Doesn’t include articles but you do get NYT cooking newsletters. I was able to keep my log-in and all saved stuff despite canceling newspaper sub, yrs ago.

almost all NYT recipes are posted elsewhere if you're willing to search. The associated Cooking commentary may not be present, though, so some story details and comments you'd enjoy reading won't be there (Paprika typically goes on sale 50% off in November. Worth every penny at full price) #FoodSky

switching off javascript works, too. And not just at the Times.

You can also just view source and copy paste it into Notepad.

today i learned

Do you know how to do this in any kind of batch or faster way? I have almost 500 NYT Cooking recipes saved because I'm That Way. I'm pissed off enough at them that I'll do every single one by hand if I have to but if there's something I'm missing I'll happily save time

I don’t think so I’m afraid

oh well, time for some lightly dissociative hyperfocus clicking time I guess

that ALONE was worth the price of Paprika
