The easiest way to find any specific recipes is to head to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, which keeps a catalogue of almost every website ever published. That already has a cache of the BBC’s recipes, for instance, which can be accessed through its website.
The problem with that method is that they need to be found individually – and one of the BBC’s recipe’s strengths is that they were so easily findable through Google.
