Mumsnetters save BBC Food for the nation!

[RowanMumsnet]

Afternoon all - Happy New Year

A hot slice of what we hope is good news for you: the BBC has confirmed to us that its much-loved BBC Food site is going to remain in place, despite moves to close it some time ago - and has told us that the decision is 'because of your letter and your members'. (Read Justine's letter to James Purnell here.)

It seems the power of outraged/knackered/hungry parents has saved BBC Food's collection of recipes for a grateful nation.

And if that's not a reason to break the January diet and knock up an enormous lasagne, we don't know what is.

Cheers!

Hooray!! I use BBC food recipes a lot. They're usually easy and reliably good. What a relief that it's not closing!

Fantastic, I use it every week as well.

Excellent. I use it loads. Where would I go for non-American recipes without it?!

Brilliant. Having already given away their good food site and magazine it would be a tragedy if the bbc lost this resource

Well done everyone!

That’s good. I use it more than other recipe sites.

Hurrah! It's a really useful collection.

Excellent news I get quite a few recipes from there.

Great news!!

Top work Justine & MNHQ!

Used this site all the time as a broke new mum.

So chuffed.

So is Good Food save or i do i need to start a copy and paste marathon?

BBC good food website was never under threat as it has adverts on it.

BBC food section of the BBC website was to axed as it cost too much to run and was not visited by lots of people.

MN have campaigned to bbc food to be axed which means they have to get rid of another service.

Thanks Chaosofcalm

I’m so pleased, it’s my go to for new recipes and I rely on so many already discovered there!

Fabulous fabulous new. Well done Mumsnet!

This is great news. I specifically add 'BBC' to my google searches when looking for recipes because of the quality of the site. Really pleased this is staying.

Really pleased that sense has broken out. Well done Justine!

Delighted!

Thanks MN. I've just taken a look at BBC Food (for the first time) and it looks great. I use BBC Good Food all the time, which is brilliant too.
