why doesn't somebody do this?

I'm thinking that recipe web sites don't understand that i want to read or look at pictures. Not both at the same time! When I'm looking for something I want a broad selection I can scan. A list, or summary, tags too, all text based. Info at a glance. 

Images are more of a ponder. Is that it? Perhaps thumbnails as the default for the image option. Image searching for mouth watering dinner suggestions that can be sorted any which way.
