Google Recipes - what do you think of it?

On February 26th, google released a new algorithm update to wipe out garbage content on the internet. While this is great news if you invest the time creating unique content on your site, if your site contains recipes, you're still out of luck.

In step with this new algorithm update, Google released Google recipes. So, now when you search for a recipe in this tab, the results are dominated by allrecipes.com and other big corporate websites.  Quite frankly, I don't know why Google doesn't just buy these sites if that's all they're interested in showing now. But, if you wanted to end up at allrecipes.com, why not just go directly to their site instead of them hogging up every search result?

Not only that, but if you want to get in on being included in the recipe results, now your recipes must have photos, ratings, calories, etc.

If you make and eat cake and icing, you already know it's high in calories. Let's be real here. Ever since Friday's restaurants started putting the calorie count on their menu, I can't even eat there any more. Not when I know the darn salad has 800 calories. Guess what? I don't want to hear about the calories in cake and icing!

Maybe this stuff would never cross your mind, but as an owner of 2 cake decorating websites, both with recipes on them, I'm interested in hearing your opinion.
