First, thank you thank you thank you! You are a man among men for creating and maintaining Calibre. Bless you!

I installed the Food Network plugin and it works fine. However, from the add plugins page it still shows as "not installed". I tried uninstalling (which it did) and then reinstalling. Still no joy.

No problem for me, but sharing because I thought it might be a bug. Could be a PEBKAC, too. (PEBKAC, most common computer error ever = Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

the plugin is really nice. It is to bad there is no way to go back into the book and add more urls.

I have tried the Food Network Plugin but all it does is just provide hyperlinks, unlike your epub shown for "Summer Salads [Wed, 05 Jun 2013] - foodnetwork.com.epub"

I have the latest Calibre and your plugin;
Here is what is shown on one of the pages
This article was downloaded by calibre from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/r...ler-recipe.htm. See attached epub.
Hope you can be of some help.

Thanks

I have now fixed this plugin. the webpage had been changed to the content was not being fetched correctly anymore. thanks for bringing it to my notice.

I realize this thread is quite old, but I'd like to know if this plugin still works. I've been trying to compile a small list of recipe URLs to make a test book, but all I get is a TOC that has "Articles" and then the next page has a list of the Recipe names, but no further pages so the recipe links go nowhere. See my attached screenshot.

The available example shows full recipes and that is what I'm trying to accomplish.

Another question is whether the other two plugins, Big Oven and Allrecipes, work. I'll try those...

If they don't work, should they still be included as available plugins?

Thanks,
