SEO

Look how the page is structured. They break down the recipes into multi pages and with more ads. It's for ad revenue.

They're selling themselves more than anything, so they can get those brand deals where they pimp products.

I haven't tried it yet, but i believe there's a chrome extension that pulls the recipes from those pages so you don't have to deal with the extra bulk. Forgot what i was googling bout cooking but i seen the tip in the search results page

What about journalist who point out small irrelevant shyt.

Dude could be interviewing Tom Jones or some shyt and...

"Mr. Jones sat down before me in his leather chair-the color of the leather almost resembling the green color of his felt pool table in the background".

UNAPPRECIATION

As many others have said, it’s literally to keep you in the website longer as it’s all tracked and stacked by AdWords/Google and cookies.

So ultimately it looks like a user has longer interaction with your website, then Google will boost your results on their search page.

They are trying to set the stage for the reader. Detailed/descriptive writing helps the author convey the message in a way that the reader is more likely to absorb and remember.

Your made-up sentence is actually a very good example of sensory language/imagery being used

Sat before me - visual, spacial setting
Leather chair - touch
Green - visual, color
Felt - touch/texture
Pool table in background - visual, setting

Our brains are hardwired to latch onto sensory cues and create mental photographs that will be associated with the information that was conveyed and this more likely to be remembered.
