Starting August 13: Our site upgrades

Submitted by EuroCuisineLady on Sun, 08/12/2018 - 17:39

EuropeanCuisines.com has been in need of a look-and-feel upgrade for some time, and we're finally ready to begin.

Starting around 0900 UK/Irish Summer Time on Monday, August 13, 2018, EuropeanCuisines.com will be closed for 24-36 hours while we install a new, more mobile-friendly theme. All original materials will remain in their usual locations, but the overall presentation will be much brighter and more open, and the site will become much more mobile-friendly.
