Is there an archive of these notes? They make for wonderful late-night/before bed reading.  But with only 3 pages worth at a time, I'm finding the recipe of interest missing before I can look it up.  I'd love to spend some time just perusing other folks' "found favorites", maybe pages and pages at a time. 

We don't have an archive now but we can certainly add it to our wishlist of site improvements.

I would also add that you can still browse additional member notes now, even though there is no separate archive. There are two different ways you could do this --

First, if you see a member note on the homepage and might be curious what other recipes that member has tried, you could click on their username, then click on the Notes tab and browse through all the notes that person has written. I'll link to my own list of notes as an example:

Second, you can view all the notes for a particular book/blog/magazine at once time by clicking on the one you want to browse, then clicking on the Notes tab. There you will find all notes written about the book itself first, followed by all the notes about individual recipes. I'll link to the popular cookbook Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi as an example:

I hope this gives you some material to browse in the meantime!

Christine had some great tips and I thought I'd throw one more suggestion out there as I find this feature particularly useful.

If I'm searching for a particular type of dish, or book, or a variety of recipes that use certain ingredients, I always sort my results by "Buzz".  In doing so, you'll get the recipes with the most notes and, highest ratings at the top of your list.  

Here's an example.  I searched recipes in the Library "Books" by "Buzz":

You'll see The Essential NY Times Cookbook first, it has 325 notes!
