So it is your feeling that the archive should be curated in a way that wedge salad and grilled cheese recipes would either be free or culled from the site while more complex or innovative recipes might be deemed worthy of a subscription cost?  

Or do you have an objection to paying any fee to access the NYT recipe archives? 

 

the only time I see any recipe from NYT is when they send me an email usually entitled "What to cook this week"  It is  out of curiosity that I even look at any particular recipe.  When they send me a recipe title, then don't let me see the recipe, it feels like a bait and switch operation. Usually they are not blocked and I expect them to have original recipes, so I looked up Wedge Salad and Cheese Sandwich and a few others, because I thought:  What is so special about that? Then what is so secret about it? Then I really don't care to spend money to find out.
