For Fans of Taunton's Fine Cooking
1994-2020
We are a collegial community of former subscribers to/readers of Fine Cooking Magazine. The magazine was published by the Taunton Press from 1994 to 2020, when it was sold to Meredith Corporation. Meredith continued to publish Fine Cooking until April 2022.
This group was formed in October 2020 when Meredith abruptly shuttered the Fine Cooking website. Following our protests, they reinstated the website but it was permanently shut down on September 15 2022, effectively eliminating public access to the Fine Cooking archive and making searching for content difficult.
The Fine Cooking Community allows members to share resources to facilitate continued access to the Fine Cooking archive and to help us locate beloved recipes from that publication.
The Fine Cooking Search tool was created by and for the Fine Cooking Community in response to the closure of the Fine Cooking website and the resulting loss of search capability.
This tool is free to use but may not be reproduced or monetized. By using this tool you accept these terms.
We acknowledge the contributions of many people to the development of this tool. Sincere thanks to:
If you have copies of the magazines in print or electronic form you can use the search tool to find favourite recipes or explore new ones.
Select "Advanced Options" for additional features such as searching withing particular years, combining terms or selecting 'fuzzy' or precise searches.
When the search returns letter codes instead of issue numbers, these refer to special issues that were published under the Fine Cooking banner. QD03, for example, refers to Quick and Delicious 2003. A complete list of these codes is available here.
Note that most recipes published in special issues were previously published in regular issues; the search tool may offer multiple options for locating a recipe.
Search results that include a letter, such as "Issue 81 page 86b", means the recipe appeared in an insert. If you are searching within a PDF, these inserts appear at the end of the document.
