Legacy media have a focus on the needs of specific readership populations. Because of this focus, they remain a trusted source of information for many people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these media addressed readers\u2019 needs for recipes for home food preparation. Methods: To evaluate the accuracy of the recipe descriptions and to compare these to their estimated nutritional value, we examined 182 recipes extracted from 942 food- and nutrition-related articles in a sample of magazines collected from January to December 2020. Because herbs and spices enhance the palatability of foods, are associated with healthier diet patterns, and provide phytochemicals which may have health benefits, we also examined the inclusion of these in the recipes when comparing their nutritional value. Results: Nutrient comparisons across these groups showed that recipes identified as healthy were the highest in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium and the lowest in cholesterol (p &lt; 0.01). Cocktails were about half the calories per serving as all other recipes, and they were substantially lower in all the nutrients evaluated (p &lt; 0.01) except for sugars (p = NS). An increase in seasonings was associated with higher levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, iron, and fiber (p &lt; 0.001). Recipes with added seasonings were also lower in sugar (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Overall, these results support the hypothesis that recipes in legacy media identified as healthy, as well as those that contained more herbs and spices, were more likely to correspond to healthy diet guidelines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17111830","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]],"date-time":"2025-05-28T06:30:26Z","timestamp":1748413826000},"page":"1830","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Pandemic Recipes\u2014Nutritional Values of Recipes in Legacy Media"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0469-4439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann","family":"Gaba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Occupational and Geospatial Health Sciences, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, City University of New York, New York, NY 10027, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5256-6522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Bennett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Occupational and Geospatial Health Sciences, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, City University of New York, New York, NY 10027, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5758-433X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen","family":"Florez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Occupational and Geospatial Health Sciences, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, City University of New York, New York, NY 10027, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8629-6062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ghada","family":"Soliman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Occupational and Geospatial Health Sciences, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, City University of New York, New York, NY 10027, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.17645\/mac.v8i2.2736","article-title":"The Enduring Popularity of Legacy Journalism: An Analysis of Online Audience Data","volume":"8","author":"Nelson","year":"2020","journal-title":"Media Commun."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Editorial independence in an automated media system","volume":"10","year":"2021","journal-title":"Internet Policy Rev."},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"399","article-title":"Quality Journalism in Social Media\u2014What We Know and Where We Need to Dig Deeper","volume":"25","author":"Degen","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
