BBC to drop 11,000 recipes from its website - grab them quick
If you have any favourite recipes on the bbc food website (not the 'good food' one though) then you'd better get there quick and 'save webpage'.
My personal favourite is Delia's pancakes. http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...immed-down-bbc Serously, the crap they throw money at on the telly and they choose to do this. Apparently (reported on BBC radio this morning) it's silly to have 15 recipes for spaghetti bolgonese. How can choice be wrong? You pick the one you like the sound of or which uses/avoid certain ingredients. The logic behind it is to stop competition with newspapers. Newspapers are in decline so the BBC has to decline the website to keep in step. And we're paying for this. |

I'm not likely to go downloading and saving several hundred recipes that can be found easily elsewhere. Most of the telly chefs have their recipes online on their own sites. |

They are not going. They are just being archived.
Good. The commercial sector does just the same content. |

I didn't even know the BBC had a food website.

Good. The commercial sector does just the same content. There are plenty of other free recipe web sites, though, so if the BBC had removed all of their 11,000 recipes, it seems as though they are now going to be moved to the BBC Good Food web site, does the commercial sector seriously believe people will now pay for a recipe when there are plenty of free sites still available? |

My favourite source for recipes is YouTube, so one gets the benefit of watching a demo.
I've looked at BBC website while researching dishes, but I never end up using them. |
