As others in the same situation, I am quite upset that taste book has deleted photos, recipes and books that I spent much time creating. I was not alerted that this change would be coming until it was too late... and that was because I tried to log in... nothing was sent to me.
I am still able to access my recipes on my phone app, but I can not export them and I don't know how long that will even be available. The fact that they are still there though gives me hope that they still exist and hope that taste book can reopen all recipes and book collections for a time (with notice) to allow me to transfer them to another service they recommend.
This was no a professional way to handle this and I hope they can rectify.
