Celebrate the 4th of July

In the U.S. it's time to break out the festivities for the 4th of July. And our Red, White, and Blue Pinterest Board is a great place to look for inspiration. We're adding more all the time, but among our popular recipes so far are Berry Shortcakes; Red, White, and Blue Fruit Skewers with Cheesecake Yogurt Dip; Independence Day Icebox Cake; Red, White, and Blue Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and 4th of July Fresh Berry Trifles.

EYB wins "Best on the Web" award

We're so proud to announce that The Daily Beast has awarded us one of their Best on the Web Awards. Given that we're on our way to 1,000,000 indexed recipes (over 900,000 and counting) we modestly have to agree that our site is pretty fabulous.

Interview with William Sitwell

William Sitwell describes himself as "a writer, editor (of [the indexed magazine] Waitrose Kitchen), and presenter who can't stop eating." He talked to us about the unique approach behind his new book, A History of Food in 100 Recipes. Meet this special British author here, plus, to win one of three free copies of his book, comment here.

Featured Pinterest board - Salads

Regardless of the season, a crisp healthy salad is always appropriate, 

whether as a side dish or as a main entree. And by using seasonal ingredients, salads can be as diverse as any course - which is certainly reflected in our Salad Pinterest Board. With over 130 pins, we have recipes ranging from Marinated Zucchini Salad to Strawberry Broccoli Salad to Pineapple Chicken Salad to Mediterranean Quinoa Salad.

Newly indexed blog - Cook Sister

Our newly indexed blog this month is Cook Sister. Written by Jeanne Horak-Druiff, a "proud South African" transplanted to London, the blog deals with "food, photos, and faraway places." And why the name "Cook Sister"?- it's a revised spelling of "koeksister," a deep-fried South African pastry.
