Google seems to be showing the recipe grid format not just by showing popular recipes but also showing recipe carousels broken down by recipe type. Honestly, I don’t know if that makes sense, what do chefs call this, segmentation of recipe categories?

Here is what you would normally see, the popular recipe grid:

Here is what I see in another browser, where Google is showing me other options, where I can expand to see even more carousels:

Here is another example from earlier this year:

Google is testing broaden with subcategories search for “recipes” query
