still have a food or recipe section.  my local paper used to do so but with the demise of newspapers, they have cut way back

i used to get some of my best recipes from them.  in fact, when itraveled, i would buy a local paper just to get the recipes from the area

I haven’t subscribed to the paper in so many years.  I cook so little but I have a few favorites on index cards.

These days any recipe can be found on line.

We live in a small town, and our local paper doesn’t have a food section. But we live close to a large city, and we subscribe to that one, too. DH loves Food Section day. He’s made several dishes over the years from those recipes.  I enjoy reading it. 

Both our papers have a Cookie section in December. I’ve gotten some great recipes from those.

@shortbreadloverYes, I subscribe to The Washington Post and they do have a special food section each Wednesday.

I really look forward to getting it each Wednesday morning.

The local newspapers in my neck of the woods, the "food" section is stand-alone & only included in the Sunday editions.

Yes, they do about four recipes on a single topic (salsa, pumpkin, tailgating.....).

Our citywide paper doesn't anymore, but our smaller community paper does.  I only get the paper on Sunday, and if I don't read it, I use it for other things.

Yes, both papers we get have a food section. The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday and Wednesday. And the Bucks County Courier the food section, I think is Wednesday.

In fact one of my favorite recipes was from the newspaper. I made it for the people at work one time. Everyone liked it and wanted the recipe. So I made copies and somehow lost the recipe. So I never made it again.

Our local paper still has a food section, but it's miniscule compared to what it was years ago.  The section now consists of a column by the food editor of upcoming events, an article by her with a couple of recipes and a couple of syndicated articles. It's two or three pages long.  Years ago, there would be a whole section devoted to spooky food for Halloween and cookies for Christmas.  They are both memories now.  I know the food editor and she said it's shrunk for two reasons:  cost of printing a newspaper and people don't cook much anymore and aren't interested in a food section.  I think it's only a matter of time until the food section disappears completely.

so many papers are going under these days.  i know that the oregonian used to have a great food section as did the salt lake tribune.  it is sad too that people just don't read the paper
