I wanted a recipe for a quiche and this site came up. I entered my email address to go with the program and get the recipe email to me. Shortly there after I have been Bombarded with emails that look like they are come from my email address to me. Now they have jacked up an email address that has long been clean. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR EMAIL ADDEESS. Scammers

Unusable now
July 21, 2017

What happened? It was always my go-to when my cookbooks failed me. It was SO easy. Now, pages won't load completely & search results when they do load aren't accurate. It was great while it lasted.

Not very good
November 22, 2018

Its quite ok, I use it on my phone to check on the recipe and to make sure I'm doing everything properly, I don't have a printer and don't want to hoard a bunch of papers.

Caesar Salad should not have anchovies! The dressing uses Worchestershire Sauce and one of the main ingredients is this sauce is anchovies. The original Cardini Caesar Salad had no anchovies.

Given the difficulty in getting recipes to load and the irritating ads that pop up everywhere I will be leaving this sight for other options!

They can't fix anything!
September 13, 2016

I'm so mad and frustrated, I could scream! I had major surgery on my foot and in a cast so thought it would be a good time to finally sort all those recipes I have been saving and wanting to input into a good program or site. I wanted to be able to share my recipes with my daughter or friends and customer service instructed me how to do it. It started out great about a week and a half ago, put in several recipes I've had for years, and thought it would be great to be able to edit them, etc. Can't delete them though because they said too many people were deleting the wrong ones. Don't understand this, they should be able to delete anything that they created, not anyone else's, of course. After two days of putting in my recipes, something happened and I cannot input a new recipe nor can I go to the existing ones and edit them. I put one in, as per instructions from their rep, very basic, like one ingredient, to just experiment with the site. Now it's there, totally worthless, and I cannot edit it to add to it and I certainly can't delete it! I've contacted, via email, "customer relations" 4 times over the last 1 1/2 weeks, and all they do is send another automated message instructing me to check my computer and see if javascript and cookies, etc, are enabled. They were and are. It's NOT my computer! It's their website! One "customer service" rep told me that the IT people, the so called maintenance people, meet ONCE a week, to discuss issues. Well, apparently, there is a HUGE issue and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Apparently they don't care or are unqualified to do anything about it. You choose. I really liked AllRecipes.com and have printed off a few really good recipes. But don't even try to put your own in there. You'll have nothing but grief! Now, I have to completely start over from the beginning.

Terrible Site
November 8, 2017

This was the best site ever for recipes. You could sort your recipes to find great options. Now it is impossible to use. Sad!

I subscribed to allrecipes.com back in January of 2023. I was told that I would be receiving two cookbooks and so far today is June 10th of 2023, I had not received anything except one of my subscriptions for the spring of 2023 of the allrecipes magazine. Every time I have called, which has been about four or five separate times to tell them I had not received my two free gifts, I would be told, it takes 8 to 10 weeks! That's absurd! So, okay I'll wait that 8 to 10 weeks. Then I would call after 12 weeks still with no cookbooks, I'm told it's going to be there by the end of this week! No worries, ma'am, the girl says. That was in March.once again, today is June 10th. I have not received anything even a piece of paper that says all recipe cookbook! Anything! And today I was told that it was not shipped because in their system, it says I received it is! So that tells me that the last time I talked to somebody in March when she said it was going to be here at the end of that week, that's just a lie. So the guy today tells me that it's pending in the warehouse... hasn't moved. They're all liars. It's really messed up when youre told you'll receive a free item for signing up for their subscription and months later he still don't have anything. I'm starting out as a cook. I enjoy cooking, i use it as a stress reliever. Going through these last few months wondering where my free gift is was kind of adding to my stress. I just wanted them to follow through on their promise, which was two free cookbooks and like I said, I wasn't expecting these humongous cookbooks. I didn't care if it was a pamphlet. I just would have liked to have received what I was supposed to get and once again, i got let down and lied to multiple times. So as many times as you guys might like the recipes from All recipes, don't subscribe. I've never left a bad review about anything in my life I am 45 years old and this is the first time I felt the need that I had to actually leave this review because of the headache these people have given me since January.
I have to add when I told them that I wanted to unsubscribe because of this that was the fastest thing that they made happen within seconds I was unsubscribed.

Please stop putting the spoon stirring in all of your recipes. It is very annoying! I find myself not wanting to look at your recipes because of it!
