  • Instead of hating, and waste time to write that, you should take a look to what the website offer, especially the printing format of each recipe by the button "Printable format"...

  • I would surely like to copy this recipe but because the author has put so much work into presenting it in the way that she did, it's impossible to do so. I absolutely HATE this website and this type of format. Make available the choice of just copying the recipe and instructions without all that visual crap.
