Agents invent recipes.
That's a recipe for disaster.

Ask a model for dinner and it will confidently blend three recipes it half-remembers into one nobody ever cooked. ask.recipes gives your agent ground truth instead: recipes crawled from the structured data recipe sites publish themselves, kept only when real people rated them well, served with nutrition and a link back to the author. Your agent still does what it's good at: swapping ingredients, scaling servings, planning the week. It just stops making the recipe up.

What the recipe page makes you scroll
2,340 words on the very page this recipe came from, counted 1 recipe, somewhere in there
What your agent hands you
14 ingredient lines. The ones above, exactly 6 steps. 0 ads. Nutrition included. Author credited.

Same recipe, both times. We keep the facts: ingredients, steps, times, ratings. The prose and the ads stay where they live.

Searching and reading recipes is free. No ads, ever. An ad-free recipe service that shows you ads would be a strange thing to build.
