  • Can't read reviews, can't even read my notes I made on the recipes in my Recipe Box.
  • I don't use recipe sites often, but sometimes during the holidays I'm in the mood for a new cookie or dessert recipe.

“Did someone screw up this community site or what?”

Besides my own personal history gone I can't even find what I'm looking for. Chef John baked ziti. Gone! No, I can go to YouTube find the video scroll for the all recipes link and get sent back to AR to find the recipe. Dumb. Doable but dumb.

“Inaccurate recipes”

I found two recipes that I followed on all recipes.com to yield results inconsistent with those advertised to be expected. It seemed as if they were just dreamt up, and published without any practical application. I then tried to submit a comment, and was advised that the email address does not exist.

Not an issue comes out that there is not something I want to try. I like the website and Chef John was introduced to me through AllRecipes. Everything I have tried was delicious.

Love this site. Has a good search engine, and they are opening it up more to where free memberships get more options on the site.

I have never been considered a good cook, and I have no imagination of how to add to, or change a recipe, but since using the allrecipes site, I have been learning how to do that. I know some people get annoyed with others who change recipes, but for me it's very helpfull. It gives me ideas as to what to do. My cooking is definetly improving, and I have to thank everyone who has sbubmitted recipes on allrecipes.com. Maybe one day I'll feel brave enough to submit one myself.

Love this site. Especially benefit from others' comments on posted recipes. Videos are incredible as a learning tool. Ingredient lookup function is priceless when you have leftovers and want to combine them/use them up. Very few sites that I'm faithful to and this is one!

This is one of the best recipe sites! I've been a member of Allrecipes.com since 2008 and have tried over 150 recipes from there! You can rate and review the recipes you've tried and even post a photo for other members too see! A really fun site!

I know how to cook a handful of things, but I have learned so much from all recipes. Especially, the green juices and healthier recipes. The recipes I have found on there are easy and I like how they even tell you what ingredients are on sale at your local grocery store.

I love getting recipes from this website. I've got 7 grandchildren that are always hungry and I'm always looking for new things to make. Searching the site for something new is easy and convenient as you can search by ingredient.

I adore cooking and Allrecipes is one of my favorite sites. The reviews help to choose good recipes and this often saves time and money. Their low-calorie menus allowed me to lose several kilo this spring without skipping meat and some other products I cannot live without. I always apply to Allrecipes whenever I have inspiration to cook something special.

This is a great site to look for recipes.

I have liked many recipes from here and placed them in the Favourites of my account, and they were accessible from my iPad and some of them even have videos!

What's more is that we are able to add the ingredients individually or all of them into a specially designed shopping list, making the process of cooking great meals as hassle free as possible.

I feel that of so many recipe sites I've visited, this is a one-stop solution for whipping up an awesome dish even for last minute events.

I love Allrecipes because the spinner option is very easy to use and gives you great choices of dishes to make with what you have and the alloted time you have. The comments section is also very helpful becuase I cna get advice on what to do when I mkae it before I start.

Brilliant! Easy to use site that let's you look up names of recipes, or search my ingredients. Each recipe is reviewed by those who have tried it and so you get honest feedback. I teach a cooking skill session at my church for young women and I always tell them about this awesome go to site for recipes and meal ideas.

I have to admit I'm quite limited in the kitchen so this site is a real find for me. Great range of recipes with fantastic ideas and videos that even I could follow. This is one site I have bookmarked as it is great to surf ever few weeks to get new ideas and inspirations. I love this site.

This is by far the best recipe website I have found. If you click on the "ingredients" section, you can choose up to four food items that you have on hand. This brings up all the recipes in the database with those four ingredients. This is so helpful with the common problem "what do I cook for supper tonight?". I find it helpful to read the viewers comments before I try any new recipe. It gives me great ideas! I rate and save all my recipes to my recipe box.

This is the best recipe website! I adore the 'ingredients' feature where you can put a list of ingredients that you have on hand and it will show you a list of recipes that incorporate those ingredients. I can't tell you how many times this feature has helped me out as I'm struggling to think of what to make for dinner without having to go to the store. I love to read the reviews - they are so helpful with adding things or taking away things to make the recipe better. This is a go-to site for any cook.

Love this site! When I came to US I don't know how to cook, allrecipes taught me pretty much how to cook. Recipes range from simple to not-so-simple, but the best part are the the feedbacks, reviews and tips from other people/cooks! Yummy website!
