I have had a subscription to Cook's Illustrated online for years. I recently tried to add a few of my favorite recilpes using the "add to EYB Recipes" menu bar, but received the error that I couldn't link to aaggregator sites. 


Cook's Illustrated isn't an aggregator - is there soemthing I'm doing wrong?


Better yet - could the site be indexed like blogs? :)

kfrench3232, the reason you couldn't add those Cook's Illustrated recipes using the Bookmarklet is because there is a paywall on that site that restricts access to subscribers, and EYB's policy is to not link to subscriber-only sites. (Although the automated message only refers to aggregator sites, the system also blocks paywall sites.)  You're welcome to add those Cook's Ill. recipes as Personal Recipes, which aren't restricted in any way.


EYB does index every issue of Cook's Illustrated magazine -- in fact, our coverage goes back through 2011 -- but unfortunately we don't link to the online versions of the print magazine recipes, nor can we cover the CI site like a blog, again because of the paywall.

Thanks, Deborah. I was afraid of that. I do wish I could have these great recipes included in my search results!
