Goodbye from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food blog
| 14:46 UK time, Thursday, 18 October 2012
The chocolate mints have been passed, the brandies have been quaffed and now it’s time to say goodbye to the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food blog.
The blog is closing and will no longer be updated after this postÌýcloses for comments in two weeks.
Thank you to those that have read the blog, shared it and posted comments. We’ve really enjoyed discussing your kitchen conundrums and reading your recipe ideas.
But now we are making an adjustment to the way we publish. We are using a different (more flexible) article template to publish stories where we’ll continue to explore the way we eat now: investigating new (and old) ingredients, interviewing chefs and food producers, and examining the science and history of food.
In the future, comment and analysis articles, similar to those posted in the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food blog, will be published in these templates, and can be found from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food homepage.
This change will enable us to do what the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food blog has always set out to do, but more effectively.
We’re still available for a natter on Twitter (@³ÉÈËÂÛ̳Food) and on .
Thank you again for all your contributions,
Emily
³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food producer

I used to check blog every weak expecting some new article.How much time it will take to set up new system? When will be these templates available on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food homepage? RSS would be great.

Lets look forward to the future and hope that the great features begin to appear in whatever format soon where ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Food can continue to explore the way we eat now: investigating new (and old) ingredients, interviewing chefs and food producers, examining the science, and history of food.
Thanks for everything and best wishes going forward.
