Yahoo! Food on Shine

Hi everyone,

We're excited to announce that Yahoo! Food is coming over to Yahoo! Shine! All of the great things you loved about Yahoo! Food will be combined with new and improved interactive features to help you make the perfect meal. So, break out the bubbly!

Here's a taste of what you can expect:

  • Over 5,000 exclusive recipes - many brand new - from Better Homes & Gardens, author of America 's favorite cookbook.
  • A "What's for Dinner" meal planner to help you shake up the routine with great-tasting meals every day of the week.
  • Improved recipe searches where you can filter results by main ingredient, cooking method, dietary concern, and more.
  • Find that elusive perfect recipe in one of the 100+ subcategories of the new "Recipe Browse" page. Need help with a baby meal with five or fewer ingredients that can be cooked in a microwave? Just click the refinement buttons on the search results page, and we'll narrow the list down to the recipe you want.

As if THAT wasn't enough to get your cravings going, you'll also find gorgeous recipe pages that you can rate, comment on, share with friends, and see related recipes.

As always on Shine, we encourage you to blog about your own food experiences. We love reading about recent restaurant discoveries, favorite family recipes, and food-related tips and stories!

We've answered some common questions to help familiarize you with Food on Shine:

Q: I'm new to Shine. What is this web site and what is a blog?

A: Shine is a community-driven Yahoo! web site where women share information and connect with each other and the world around them in an interactive and dynamic way. Shine is based around blogs - which is just another way of sharing your thoughts on the web. Learn about starting your own Shine blog in our Help section. Please read our Shine Community Guidelines so we can maintain a healthy environment.

Q: I'm already a Shine user who has blog posts in Shine's Food channel. Will my blog posts still be intact when Yahoo! Food comes over to Shine?

A: Yes, your blog posts will remain in Food on Shine. They can be found by clicking on the "Blogs" sub-link at the top of the new navigation bar. Also, all your posts will also be accessible from your Shine blog page.

Q. I've been following some chef experts on Yahoo! Food. Where can I find them on Yahoo! Food on Shine?

A. Some of Yahoo! Food's experts will continue to blog on Food on Shine, including Foxy Festivities, Serious Eats, and Hungry Girl. You can find them in the blogs area of Food on Shine.

Q. How do I rate a recipe? And will previous ratings remain once Food moves over to Shine?

A. Rating a recipe is easy and fun! Just sign in, go to the recipe you'd like to rate, hover your mouse over the stars on that recipe, and click the rating you want. Your rating will be saved and you can always change it later. Ratings are tied to your Yahoo! ID, so your ratings will follow you when Food comes to Shine.

    Brenda, this is great news. I can not wait for the Food to be listed on Shine. I have found some of the best recipes on Yahoo Food. If you havent tried the Lemon Velvet cake recipe, I can highly recommend that one. Made it twice, once in cake form and then as cupcakes. (I just used a flavor injector instead of cake layers for the filling mixture to be added. My daughter just cut out a cone shape on the top of the cupcake and put a spoonful of filling and then topped it with the cone shape and frosted it.)

    Hugs to you and yours

    Emma Mae

    Brenda: You know me, I hope this food blog takes off. I will be popping in occasionally to check it out.

    I hope we can do something to end the spam. It is killing Shine. The regulars have had it.

    Best wishes!!

    It is really frustrating. I cannot find the article involving several combinations of foods, rice, beans, chicken, beef, spices. They were not recipes, just articles that would let me combine them creatively. They are not archived; I don't remember the category or the grouping, or the heading. Why, you tell me, cannot I who is not dumb find these series of articles from just two or maybe three days ago. It is now the weekend and I have time.

    Yahoo Food in Yahoo Shine... I would like to see it right on Yahoo main page. I'm all in favor for a woman's space on Yahoo and everything but guys like to cook too. Although it won't forbid me to visit the food section, I've learn a thing or 10 so far... but as they say, the more the merrier!
