EuropeanCuisines.com is the home of our household’s very oldest web page—opened in 1995—and after having pleased a lot of visitors for many years, we’ve decided it’s time the concept should be allowed to begin a well-deserved and graceful retirement.
When we first started EC.com, tracking down recipes from other countries could be a taxing business, and we were interested in helping make it easier for people (especially those searching for Irish recipes) to find them. But then came Google, which made hunting much easier. And then, to our delight, came many, many passionate and committed foodbloggers interested in going into European recipes in far more detail than we would ever have time to. Which has been terrific!
But gradually, over two decades the game of running a recipe website changed profoundly. And it slowly became plain that trying to run a site with such a big remit, involving numerous national cuisines, was no longer realistic for people doing it primarily as a hobby.
Then EC.com suffered a drive crash in 2023, and a combination of illness and the demands of our joint work schedules as writers meant that it never came back in anything like its previous form. Finally Peter and I looked at each other and decided that the best course of action would be to migrate those of its recipes that still interested people into smaller and more tightly focused venues, and repurpose the main site for other uses.
The EuropeanCuisines.com domain, therefore, will during 2025 begin to function primarily as a gateway for our other recipe locations—such as Real Irish Desserts, itself some years old now and due for an update, and the upcoming Real Irish Meals site. For the time being, our legacy Irish recipe collections and some updated specialty Irish recipes will remain here. So will our larger European recipe collections (Swiss, German, and Tyrolean recipes).
Other more assorted recipes, or those from which our collections were always quite small, will be relocated to our newish food-hobbyist website The Mind Palate. (This process has already begun: recipes that have been moved will automatically redirect site users to their new home.) There Peter and I will be rehousing the many recipes and food-oriented articles that—for lack of other dedicated venues—had wound up on Tumblr, or on our personal WordPress blogs, or sometimes even on Twitter, and until now have had no home.
So please be patient with us as we continue our reorganization during 2025. And thanks very much for your interest! We appreciate it.
