NYT Cooking

[Anonymous]

I have to say, it is so irritating that the NYT food section has a separate subscription than the regular newspaper. Add a couple dollars to everyone's to cover the cost. If I remember correctly, it's like $60/year. That's a lot. I would pay half of that, but not $60. Am I being unreasonable? I will admit that what I have made from there is good.

i pay $35 a month for everything. I love the nytimes only thing I hate is that there’s no option to read it in a dark screen mode (for night time bed reading). Journalism isn’t cheap. Don’t be stingy.

I pay $8 a month for a digital NYT subscription that covers everything. It's well worth it to me just for the food section. $8 is what, the price of two coffees?

Not OP. $8 a month means the annualized cost is $96. For the 1-2 recipes I might use a month. Not worth it at all.

If the cost were down at $2 a month for just the recipes then I would probably do it.

That's fine, there are plenty of free recipes for people to choose from. I don't mind paying as I use their recipes several times a week and read the paper too.

I have a full digital subscription which gets me access to everything online. Do you read the rest of the paper OP? I don’t think about it as food section vs everything else. I also used to get full digital access with just a subscription for Sunday only delivery on dead tree. I just had been reading online anyway, so I canceled hard copy delivery and switched to online.

I also know that in this day and age, it is important for independent responsible media to stay afloat. I buy the NYT subscription because I feel the need to have the NYT exist.

NP. I hear ya! My subscription used to include access to food section when I first got it, but now it doesn’t. Mine is $11.99/mo, I believe.

I have a NYT subscription, but it doesn’t include Cooking. I can’t justify a repeating annual cost for a digital cookbook. I have some favorite recipes from over the years and it’s frustrating that I paid for a paper copy at the time but can’t access the recipe now.

+2 and I have a subscription to the Washington Post as well for the same reason. But in truth I read both papers religiously and for the NYT I love their recipes (or at least certain recipe authors) and use it extensively, so it's worth it to me. I use their recipes multiple times a week and I don't print out or copy the ones I make repeatedly; I just save them in a folder and access them online whenever I need them.

I think some of you are grandfathered in perhaps? I pay $8/month and don’t get Cooking with it. It sounds like some folks have it included.

I honestly don’t remember how much I am paying - it’s on auto. It may be more than $8. But I realized I’d been paying $40 a month for a hard copy Sunday delivery out of the NY region, so even a second tier subscription was a lot less. I don’t think I got the least expensive option - I view it as a donation.

I used to pay $20 per month for a full digital NYT subscription that included the food section, for many years. They kept sending me offers to sign up for $1 per week. I called customer service and they said they couldn't give me that rate but they dropped it down to $8 per month. It won't hurt to ask if your rate is high.

I think I pay $14 a month for everything and I get
A second subscription to share with a friend. I gave my second one to a friend who loves to bake. Win-win for me!

This is us, too. We used to qualify for it and now we don’t. It’s annoying.
