I skip the narrative, am totally put off by the verbiage that precedes the recipe, finally scan the recipe and then modify it to our stock and taste.    I have no interest in the blogger's story or philosophy.    Like Joe Friday, '"just the facts, ma'am".    Don't waste my time.

 

Different strokes, for sure.  The narrative is very likely what inspires me to cook something a little different.  An author's story or philosophy is what draws me in.  I've got lots of recipes I can modify but I love spending the time you can't bear to waste to read other perspectives and take inspiration from them.
