[Sca-cooks] BBC closure of recipe archive

[Johnna Holloway]

For those that have used www.bbc.co.uk/food/ you might like to know it's closing.

> "People who want a quick, reliable Yorkshire pudding or chicken curry recipe will soon have to go somewhere other than the BBC's popular Food site. The public media company is shutting down the repository of 11,163 recipes as part of a plan to save money and make content "more distinctive."

While BBC Food is to go, the commercial site, BBC Good Food, will continue.
But the planned end of the BBC Food website prompted an online petition, which has attracted more than 90,000 supporters.
The 11,000 existing recipes on the BBC Food website will not be searchable which could make them harder to find online unless you know the URL.
