Made with Lau is a terrific US-based YouTube channel about Cantonese cooking.  It has a companion website (www.madewithlau.com) with all of their recipes.  Every recipe that I have tried is a real winner.  There are even videos excerpted from the YouTube channel that explain ingredients and demonstrate techniques.  I'd love to be able to use EYB to at least keep track of all the recipes that I want to try or make again.  Unfortunately, the EYB tool to add a recipe to the EYB site doesn't work on this website.  I've tried this using Firefox and Chrome.  (I am using a PC running Windows 10 if that matters.)  No matter the browser or recipe page that I have open, I get the same error. 

"Error! Something's Gone Wrong...

We're Sorry. Your page has not loaded or your search has taken longer to return than is normal"

I've successfully added other recipes from other websites with no problems, so this is not a matter of user error or some problem with my PC.  Can you suggest a work around?  Or is the format of the website incompatible with the EYB add-a-recipe tool?

Thanks!

This website is not on our blacklist of sites (those are all aggregator sites that reproduce recipes without permission or accreditation). So the only other reason why the Bookmarklet will not work is that the site has a block against any data being scraped. They are able to make exceptions so you could email them explaining why you want to have the recipe data in your EYB searches. Make clear that we do not reproduce the recipe. And maybe you will then be able to add them.

In the meantiume you can add any recipes as Personal Recipes, as that does not scrape any data.
