Hi All,
From what I gather from my forum searches, an index of CAH recipes used to be available on the website, but it is no longer. After happily subscribing for 2 years, I now have a bunch of the other annuals on order (my Christmas gift from my wife), and it looks like each year has an annual index. I'm probably underestimating the effort, but maybe it wouldn't be that bad to combine 14 annual indexes into one, particularly if I could get some OCR technology working to assist. Of course I wouldn't ever publicly post something like that without the blessing of CAH, and I certainly wouldn't EVER post any content beyond the index. But I can't imagine they would mind just an index of all recipes ever published with a reference of each recipe name to its corresponding issue date made public. It could only help with sales of annuals I suspect. What do you think? I would certainly find it valuable. Or is something like this already available without the effort?
