I have recently changed my computer an can no longer access my recipes on the bbc website. I tried to start a new recipe binder but am having no success. My new computer runs Vista my old one ran Windows XP. Can anyone out there help with a solution?

Hi, I have been playing with the BBC recipe book for a while and your right no sign in needed for the recipe bit. The issue then is that you will have had a cookie on your old pC that the BBC recognized whenever you went to it and from this it knew it was you and displayed your recipes.
Unless you have a way of accessing your old machine and copying the cookie over to the new one then they are lost.
Sorry

Sorry
thanks again Richard
i don't think I explained fully. When you are on the bbc food site and go to say recipes from any programme you are invited to click on to "move to recipe folder" I do this and although the page opens the recipe clicked is not there. It is hard to explain but give it a try and see if you have any success
