How to bypass paywalls on recipe sites?

Though it was not the original intention of the extension, Ceres Cart can often extract recipe data directly from the page, even if a site tries to restrict access. It works by pulling structured data from the website’s code, which is sometimes still accessible despite paywalls. However, some sites have stronger protections that may prevent this. We encourage users to support their favorite recipe creators whenever possible. Ceres Cart has been tested and works on many popular recipe sites, including:

• The New York Times
• America’s Test Kitchen
• Epicurious
• Bon Appetit

If you encounter a site where it doesn’t work, let us know, and we’ll strive to support it.
