Do Recipes Focus So Much on the What Than on the Why?

I have built pretty much my entire food utubing career around the y i make two videos and one podcast a week. My monday videos are thereabout food, but they are chiefly concerned with the wayit s or why people do what they do with food. I think a recipe video should be, at its core, a utilitarian object. And if it gets too long, it's not very useful. So i try to cover the most pressing is in my recipe vidios. If i'm using a hard tefind ingredient, i try to say why i'm doing that so that people can choose a substitute.
