Overview

Oregonian Recipes is an online recipe database and directory operated by The Oregonian/OregonLive, featuring over 3,600 recipes sourced exclusively from the newspaper's pages. Each recipe undergoes quality checks before inclusion, covering categories such as food recipes, meal preparation, food preserving, beer, and wine. It serves as a digital archive for searching and exploring content from this Portland-based media outlet.

History

Oregonian Recipes originates from The Oregonian, the oldest continuously published newspaper on the US West Coast, established in 1850 in Portland, Oregon. The recipe collection draws from the newspaper's print archives, with the online platform at recipes.oregonlive.com providing a searchable database. In recent years, it was re-engineered into a responsive directory called Recipe Box to improve user exploration, as developed by Planet Argon.
