The 50 best recipes from NYT Cooking

Cooking, the recipe service offered by The New York Times, has just turned 10 years old, and has chosen to celebrate it with the publication of "Our Greatest Hits", a special feature with a selection of the 50 most successful recipes offered during this decade.

Here's the link, courtesy of Tendenci@s, to access the special feature. For this week, until next Tuesday, you can access all the recipes included in it for free.

Users can indicate for each recipe if they have already prepared it or wish to do so, and share it with their family and friends.

NYT Cooking, available on the web and as an app, has established itself as one of the main international references in the culinary world and as an essential element of the New York newspaper's digital subscription. Over the past year, more than 100 million people visited the NYT Cooking website or app at some point.

In addition to the mentioned special feature, Cooking is celebrating its tenth anniversary with two other actions:

  • NYT subscribers can share as many recipes as they want during this month of September for their family and friends to access them for free.

  • A new newsletter, “Dinner Tonight”, has been launched, recommending simple dinner recipes.
