Where did this recipe go? Unfortunately I don't have it written down. I hope this doesn't happen often.

I recognize this from an early contest, and then see that the full name of the recipe in the URL.
When I dropped that into a Google search, I found a "reprinting" of the recipe on another site:

https://guidosfreshmarketplace.com/resources/overnight-steel-cut-oats-with-almond-butter-honey/

Incidentally, this recipe is in one of Food52's first two cookbooks - one that featured contest winners.

I hope this helps! ;o)

Hi Molly, thanks for flagging—we on the F52 team have never seen this happen to a recipe before and are looking into it. Will report back once we've found a solution. Thanks!

When you know the URL of a webpage that has disappeared, it is often still accessible at the Internet Wayback Machine.

It took me ten seconds to find this:

http://web.archive.org/web/20201112032000/https://food52.com/recipes/3062-overnight-steel-cut-oats-with-almond-butter-honey

Nothing on the Internet really disappears if you remember where it lived.

Anyhow, the best practice is make a copy of your favorite online content whenever possible. There is no guarantee that it will be conveniently accessible forever.

For recipes, generate a PDF or do a cut-and-paste into a word processing document.

Due to Food52's inane photo slideshow implementation, you might lose a bunch of photos but these days Food52 only publishes beauty shots, no process photography of the individual steps.

Best to seek out the original recipe from the author's blog, etc. which often have more commentary and more photography of individual steps.

DO NOT COUNT ON FOOD52 OR ANY OTHER SITE TO PRESERVE CONTENT FOREVER.
