Whilst driving yesterday i heard on the radio that the BBC intends to cut down the amount of food recipes shown on its website which is about over 11,000 currently , of which over 3000 of them are pies!

I didn't realise you could make over 3000 different pies, does anyone else use this website, i've used it a couple of times, but am curious to know if the culinary taste buds of Charlton Life will be affected?

    I doubt it's 3000 different pies.

    I suspect there may ve more than one recipe for Shepherd's Pie, for example.

    Igor will be gutted, so far he's tried 2381 of the pie recipes and was really hoping to do the lot

    Can I just ask, is this different to the BBC Good Food website ... which is the only place I use?

    ie is this one safe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes

    I think that's the website that is being targeted.

    no they are transferring the recipes from the main BBC website and going to move them onto the goodfood website.

    Fair enough. I didn't realise there were two separate BBC recipe websites. What I read was that some argued BBC had too much content online and were competing too much with commercial media and they should cut back on recipes. If they're just moving the recipes to another BBC website, then I'm not sure what the point is.

    They charge for some of the recipes on bbc good food it seems, so maybe more of these will go behind a pay wall?

    I don't think they actually charge for any recipes, but the goodfood site carries adverts, while
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/ doesn't (apart from ads for BBC programmes). I think the intention is to soften us up to expect more ads on the BBC.

    After the sport and news pages, it's the section I use most, if you exclude iPlayer anyway.

    Use it all the time - particularly for sauces.
