Displaying page views for a Recipe website?

I just wanted some opinions on displaying the number of views a recipe has (based on GA page views) with the objective to increase click-throughs.

My hypothesis is displaying the page counter in the form of ‘recipes views’ can be valuable to users as it gives them an indication and impression of how popular a recipe is, which might make them more inclined to trust the recipe if there have been a large number of views.
