A friend gifted me a few hellofresh boxes once and I quite liked the recipes. But I don't care about subscription services to get overpriced groceries delivered if the supermarket is a 5 minutes walk away.

Is there any collection on the recipes online? At least in Germany, recipes aren't even copyrighted, so it wouldn't even be illegal to distribute them here (AFAIK, IANAL).

Many of his early recipes were actually direct copies of recipes from America Test Kitchen. Many word for word.

So it's even extra shitty that he put his recipes behind a paywall because most of ATK's recipes are available for free. (But buy their books! They are very good)

IMO, cookbooks are in a different category. While yes their recipes are copyright free, the organization by theme is worth their cost. When I was in college, I bought a Betty Crocker "5 ingredients 30 minutes" cookbook which is awesome for someone who is learning to cook. As I've developed skills I've gravitated toward cookbooks that teach the fundamentals and science of cooking that help explain what's happening.
