The Cookpad platform for sharing culinary recipes and communicating on related topics will remove all Russian-language recipes from the database and will stop working in Russia from January 31.
“Until the last moment, we lived in full confidence that Cookpad would not leave Russia. <…>. Recently, the foreign office of Cookpad Inc. has made the difficult decision to close Cookpad in Russia as of January 31. The reasons for this decision are not specified.
It is noted that from January 31, “all Russian recipes on Cookpad will cease to be available, no one will be able to enter the site or application.”
The Russian Cookpad team also announced that it has created new groups on social networks where users can communicate, post recipes and participate in contests – “Easy Recipes”. Cookpad emphasized that this is a “temporary solution to maintain a point of attraction”.
