Hello!
The recipe in question is https://belindajeffery.c...ini-and-ricotta-lasagne/

It turns up twice in the eybl database:
- one entry from her book "Utterly Delicious Simple Food"
- and the other in "Cuisine Magazine, Jan/Feb 2015 (#168).

However neither of these entries includes the above link which is from the author's website. I wanted to add the online recipe link to the book entry so that I could then add it to my bookshelf, but I can't see anyway of making it happen. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you :)

I work around that by adding a personall note to each of the recipes with the hyperlink. I also save the online recipe as a pdf and make a note or bookmark to that effect too.. so if it goes offline in the future I still have teh recipe ;-)

We have to add the online recipe links. If members could add the links we would be inundated with spammers inserting links to very dubious sites. This happened when we let members insert links to their own blogs on their Profile page so we had to remove that feature. You can of course do as debkellie suggests but you can also email us with the URL of the recipe that you want a link inserted and the link. I have added a link to your Belinda Jeffery recipe and you can now add it to your Bookshelf.

Thank you very much Jane! I totally understand the problem with spammers!! And I like your idea of saving pdfs, debkellie... it is so annoying when the url gets changed! Thanks again :)
