So what's with Gourmet having their own web site and no longer part of Epicurious? Received the

February magazine yesterday and saw the announcement. I think the archives will remain with Epicurious, but the new recipes seem to be here. Banana and chocolate lovers might want to check out the Banana Chocolate cake. smileys/wink.gif

Perhaps they've gotten as disgusted with the Epi site as many users. I always loved the recipe archive site, Buzz box, etc, but find it very difficult and slow to use since the 'improvements'.

From the Gourmet newsletter of January 10th

"The big news around here is the new gourmet.com, which launches on January 16. Unlike the current one, this is a stand-alone site and not part of epicurious.com. We're really exited about this rich and wonderful space, which we will be updating every weekday with the latest news from our correspondents all around the world, information on politics and food science, restaurant reviews, city guides, new videos from our test kitchens, and an archive of essays from Gourmet's past. Also in the works: Our redesigned newsletter, which you will be receiving next week. —Ruth Reichl"

 
I agree about Epicurious...

It was a WONDERFUL site at one time and they kept "fixing" it until they ruined it! I love the Buzz Box, My Recipe Box and reading users reviews before trying a new recipe. I don't like very much else about it anymore.

 
I like the site, I hope they can keep it as clean as it is now. Printing recipes from Epi has

gotten difficult. Perhaps it's just me, but I have to really tweak it to get it to come out without 2 different fonts and sometimes takes two pages, even if it would fit on one. Now what's with that?

 
You can just copy to clipboard Curious. That still works. Then print on one.

If I remember correctly though, you have to do each page separately now. Still better than a 2-page recipe for your files.

 
I think it may have a lot to do with trying to sell their new binders for the online recipes. As

well as making it difficult for the rest of us.
