   This really should be “Cookbooks then, Cookbooks now” because the recipe’s probably the same. There’s one definite reason and one very probable reason. One, you can’t (or it’s very difficult to) trademark or copyright a recipe, but you can copyright your own words/stories if you right a book. And two, it’s probably a lot easier to pad a book out if for every recipe there’s another page or two of story instead of having to come up with double or triple the number of recipes to sell a book of adequate length.

   As others have said regarding cooking blogs online, it’s also better to have a longer post so you can fit more ads in. There are also people that read lifestyle blogs for the stories, too, and may or may not care about a particular recipe, I guess.
