BBC Food’s recipes won’t “disappear“ – and you’ll still be able to cook along with Nigella

Take heart: the recipes will be “archived”, not deleted, and BBC Good Food isn't going anywhere.

The latest casualty of the BBC’s charter renewal process is its recipe site, BBC Food. Politics aside, this has predictably prompted moans, groans, and the frenzied printing out of all those fancy Paul Hollywood bread recipes you keep meaning to try. 

But really, there’s no need to panic. Contra to what everyone online seems to believe, the website and its 11,000 recipes will not be deleted, but archived. The recipes will still be online, but the website will no longer be updated or staffed. So stop your apocalypse-ready printing now.
