"Partnered" is such a bizarre word to use to mean, "I read a recipe". Even if that recipe was regurgitated in the most inefficient way possible.

Imagine people in the past saying shit like, "I wanted to bake a pie so I partnered with Betty Crocker."

Oh really Brenda? You "partnered" with Betty Crocker? And what exactly did Betty do to help? Oh. That's right. Nothing. Because she's not an actual person, just a branded cookbook. Maybe make sure more of the rum makes it in the pie next time.
