I use a terrific app called Paprika. It strips the nonsense SEO trash off and saves it locally in categories with pictures from the site. It can scale recipes up and down by whatever you percentage you want and can also convert metric to freedom units, etc. It can build shopping lists if you want for it to.
You aren't mentioning the best parts.
Paprika can synchronize recipes across multiple devices and it doesn't cost a membership.
You can set up an entire family with all of the recipes. No longer must you print them out, and hand them out like some kind of filthy peasant. Or worse hand over that Bobby Flay cookbook from 1932. Jst click save on your own end, and they already have it. You can also share them as professional looking emails.
Paprika can also scale the recipe with each ingredient. E.g. you scale that crack chicken recipe from 1x to 4x because you've got family coming. Now instead of fumbling through 4.8 tsp Oil times 4 - it'll just list . 5 Cup Oil.
I didn't want to oversell it because it's "just" a recipe app. 😊
It also has a setting that prevents your phone from going to lock screen. I can't tell you how helpful that is when your hands are covered in biscuit dough or hamburger meat.
