I personally have mixed feelings about "fluff" content in recipes. If it's a rundown of the origins and history of the dish, its evolution, and variations, I'm usually very interested in that as it can and sometimes does have a bearing on how I may want to customize the recipe, or if nothing else, educational content on the history of food is nice. Obviously I appreciate a to the point recipe too, just saying I personally don't mind a bit of context and history. If it's just telling a story about your personal connection to the food though, I think we can stand to skip that or at the very least move it to a dedicated bonus section after the recipe itself.
