Is there any way I can add all the Guardian recipes?  Not sure if all the recipes are member indexed, but I seem to find them randomly and love the recipes.

We index all the recipes in Guardian Cook, the food supplement on a Saturday. All those recipes that have Online Recipe links can be added to your Bookshelf. However they do have a lot of other recipes and we have more than 5,000 indexed on EYB. If you see other recipes on the Guardian website that you want to add, you can do so using the Bookmarklet. However, there is an issue if there is more than one recipe on the page as only one recipe can be added per URL (this is to prevent EYB members adding multiple copies of the same recipe).

I am currently in the UK and reading the Guardian every day and I was just thinking by coincidence that I should every week add their new recipes as they have great recipes from wonderful cooks and chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi, Nigel Slater and Ruth Roddy. So I am going to start doing that - I can get over the issue of multiple recipes per URL. I will also work back through the backlog (that will take some time!).


If you or any other member wants older multiple recipes added for one URL, just email us and we will do it for you.

I am delighted you are going to add all of the Guardian recipes, it is a very valuable online resoure for me.

Thank you Jane for this info.  I just sent them a complimentary money to help their free site.

Another Guardian reader here - I'd be very happy to see these recipes indexed too!

I'd like that too!

If you like the Guardian recipes, you'll like the Observer Food Monthly (OFM) which is indexed as well. There are nearly always some new Nigel Slater recipes as he is the editor. The Observer is the Guardian in its Sunday clothes -different journalists- but the same style. All its recipes are on the Guardian site too. In the weekly magazine that comes with The Observer there is a Nigel Slater midweek supper recipe that is always something a bit different and generally quick to cook. They are mostly seasonal too, if you live in the Northern Hemisphere! Glad there are plenty of Guardian fans out there!

Thank you saladdays.  I just added the Observer.
