The Spruce Eats

Just because a website knows how to manipulate the system and get to Google's infamous "first page" doesn't mean that it is a trustworthy source.

The Spruce Eats is just more SEO clickbait. As a food editor and copywriter, I have read plenty of this site and have found many, many errors, incorrect info and blatant contradictions (even within the same paragraph.) I'm guessing, at this point, that they have AI writing this gibberish.

I value truth and information, and so I tried to reach out to let them know of a few errors I found on a certain page, but guess what? There is no way to contact anyone that I can find. You click "contact me," which only leads to a page with the photos and bios of people that supposedly operate the site. That, for me, is a red flag. It's just sad that people use sites like this for info, when really they are just there to make ad money—not to educate.

The image I included shows an issue that I encountered today. On one hand, prosciutto is cured in a cool, dry place. In the next paragraph, it changed to humid rooms. Just a small example.

Omg do not sign up for emails regarding their receipts etc. They never unsubribe you ever.
Their unsubscribe button on their page is dead,
Non responsive. After a while you'll see it's not worth it with the flooding they do, just constant boring bs stuff you can get any where on the internet.

Very disappointed in this website being a culinary professional myself. Vinegar is a poor substitute for wine cooking as it will sour a batch of bolagnaise. Whomever has been writing these suggestions oviously knows nothing about the professional chef. Someone also appearing on a reality tv show using spruce eats suggestions is not a real Chef. Real chefs do not need tv exposure to become the best real chefs are to busy!

I have cooked over a dozen recipes from this site and only 1 disappointment. I go to this site when ever I am looking for a recipe and have found most of what I am looking for. A very good recipe site.
