The Washington Post’s new recipe site
October 28, 2023 by DarcieThe Washington Post, which has a large and active food section, unveiled its new recipe site this week. In the announcement, the Post said they were creating the new site to make “it easier than ever for you to find those recipes, save them, print them, use them and interact with us and other readers about them.” The Post freshened the site’s look, adding a tiled landing page that echoes the look of Pinterest (a layout that many other food sites and magazines have adopted). The tiles feature the recipe’s images, the title, a star rating (including the number of reviews), the time it takes to make the dish, and a bookmark option (available only to subscribers).

Although you can’t see how many recipes are available on the site, the article claims that they have “more than 10,000 recipes to tempt you.” The landing page is divided into sections, with “Trending” at the top, followed by “Reader Favorite” recipes, “Staff Picks”, and so on. You can continue to browse recipes by loading additional tiles, or you can use the search feature which has a small selection of filters available. When you are spoiled for choice with the myriad filters available at EYB, Wapo’s offerings look rather meager.
Like most newspaper food sections, Wapo will require you to at least register for a free account in order to view recipes. It’s unclear if there is a limit to the recipes you can access with a free account, but I did not see any restrictions with respect to viewing. However, if you want to bookmark recipes or make comments, you need to have a paid subscription. Of course, you can always add a recipe to the EYB Library with the Bookmarklet tool to keep track of it without having to remember on which site you found it! Plus you’ll be able to use the more robust searching and filtering tools on EYB.
Added by EYB: There are already 4,800+ recipes from the Washington Post in the EYB Library that you can add to your Bookshelf.
