[This worked for me](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/focaccia) and I checked a few other recipes and didn’t get anything like you’re seeing

Been like that for a while, at least in the app. I don’t experience any of that stuff on the website though.
Works fine for me. Not sure what to tell you, other than any app with ‘Best Value’ on a payment option needs to fucking die.
As others are saying that it’s working for them, I’m wondering whether OP is abroad or using a VPN?
Not like their second/third/fourth and so on recipes are worth it (OP check it on private)
I haven’t had this but have noticed that some recipes now show up as ‘app only’ on the website.
The website is accessible without subscription
Said it before. It won’t be long til your washer stops working because you forgot to renew your Hotpoint subscription. But it doesn’t matter because your monthly liquitab subscription didn’t turn up, so you’ve no detergents anyway. Arse water
Some of the recipes require a subscription but the majority of them are free
Please note that BBC Good Food is run by Immediate Media Company Limited (styled as Immediate Media Co) and it is not produced inhouse in BBC.
£53.88! They wanted £53.88 to bloody access recipes you can get on a different website for free. Even the discount price of £24 is a bloody rip off. You could buy a couple of decent cook books for that price, that will be better than their recipes.
I’ve never once found a good ‘GoodFood’ recipe… Baked goods always come out relatively ok, if a bit boring. The more savoury recipes are always bland imo!
Jesus . Whatttttt
I don’t really use it but it’s a generally theme of modern life. Turn everything into a subscription, promote all the bells and whistles, then introduce ads on top and decline the service. Hi Amazon!
They’ve been trying to push this for a long time. First you had to make an account and offering “more recipes” on a subscription with access to their magazine.
The worst part is, most of their recipes are user uploaded and have nothing to do with the BBC. They’re just charging people to view free recipes. Its a shame because it was always the best place to go, for no BS recipes that don’t have 10 pages of somebodies life story first
Now do the same with the TV licence
It’s been like this for at least a year. Some food is free online but not the app/magazine.
We should all set up a petition and complain to offsted because we have to pay TV licences for the BBC which also includes online streaming services from the BBC and not from the BBC.
Access the web version in incognito/private tab mode. You won’t be bothered with any requests to subscribe.
Cool, I appreciate they had some good stuff on there, but nothing I can’t find through a google search.
Overestimating their value?
Good, this will drive people to websites with actually good recipes
Yep noticed that last night. Just clicked straight off and found a different website for honey roasted parsnips
Looks like I will be returning to my 1852 cookbook, A plain cookery book for the working classes.
Something something license fee
Just go somewhere else.
Strongly recommend buying paprika 3, it’ll store recipes and extract them from pages like BBC good food or wherever. It’s also not a subscription, so you just buy software like the good old days. It’s a few quid I think, and something I use all the time.

Subscribe to nothing. Buy cookbooks. They can’t (yet) legally enter your house and take back those Nigella ~~spank mags~~ kitchen gems.
Must be getting tough supporting the pedos now a lot of people have dumped the license.
Use the normal BBC Food website. It’s free and has a huge amount of recipes.

I might be going crazy but I swear I remember a reddit post years ago about how someone managed to download the whole of the bbc good food website onto a memory stick and posted that to reddit. Apparently the storage of the bbc good food website was so small at the time 🤔
no idea what happened to that thread though 🙁
I wish they’d make the TV license a subscription so I could cancel it as I don’t watch any BBC content.
A travesty. I found this out at the weekend.
They should do this outside of the UK, not inside.
Boooooo
What is the whole point of paying for a TV license that is to fund the BBC when they go and do this?
They’ve been planning this for a long time. I remember discussions about implementing it with a FAANG when I worked there over five years ago.
They’re desperate for cash with fewer people paying for licences so they’re looking for any means to make cash.
