Also I'm gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

I personally have mixed feelings about "fluff" content in recipes. If it's a rundown of the origins and history of the dish, its evolution, and variations, I'm usually very interested in that as it can and sometimes does have a bearing on how I may want to customize the recipe, or if nothing else, educational content on the history of food is nice. Obviously I appreciate a to the point recipe too, just saying I personally don't mind a bit of context and history. If it's just telling a story about your personal connection to the food though, I think we can stand to skip that or at the very least move it to a dedicated bonus section after the recipe itself.
Oh yes, absolutely! I love doing a bit of research when I'm doing a recipe. I've got a couple of cooking books from the 19th century which are a great source for inspiration and show how dishes evolved, as you say. I'll include that in the videos too with traditional recipes, but that usually doesn't take up much time.
