One idea if it is recipes that you are usually interested in selecting, there are a few recipe keeper programs out there that can grab a recipe from a web site and put it into their database. I have not personally used any of these, but my wife (who is fully sighted) loves "Yummy Soup". tidbits.com did a review of recipe programs about a year ago, though of course they wer not analyzing them for accessability.
