Why Some Recipes Expire

Q: What does "limited time" mean on a recipe and why do some recipes expire?

A: A "limited time" recipe is, for legal reasons, only available shortly before and for two weeks following the airing of an episode in which the recipe appeared. Many recipes in the database — from shows and other sources — are available on the site at all times. They will be there when you return the following week or month. But if a recipe you like is marked "limited time," please print out the recipe for future use, since it may not be available the next time you return.

Please note that Food Network Canada shows air at different times than the Food Network US schedule. Limited time recipes for any of those programs must follow the US schedule. Canadians may visit www.foodtv.ca for more information.
