Bad Timing
November 25, 2015

This is my go to website, which is currently Under Construction. Why in the hell would you close your website down 2 days before thanks giving to upload more recipes. This should have been completed atleast a week ago. More quality meals are cooked tonight and tomorrow than all year long. I really need an oyster dressing recipe and the website is under construction. Bad Timing.

When are you going to fix your new format problems? I haven't been able to access my recipe box since you changed. I sent you an email a few months ago asking this, but have never heard back.

Change isn't always good
November 19, 2015

I am horribly disappointed at the new format. I do not know why they think this jumbled, disorganized mess is better than the concise and easy to use format they had. I will not renew my subscription, I am having difficulty getting my recipes out of my recipe box. It is such a headache. If I hadn't given away my copies of my recipes (because I thought I could get them at any time from my allrecipes file) I would never open the site again. Mind you, I have been an avid user for many years...

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.

Brilliant!
June 6, 2014

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 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.

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.

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!

Thousands of recipes.
January 20, 2014

Pros: 1) Unlimited amount of recipes in all food areas. 2) An infinite number of reviews/ratings by novices & experts alike. Cons: 1) Cannot comment on a recipe unless you rate it, possibly skewering the ratings. 2) Ratings include those who have altered the original recipe (& most have). 3) Many irritating reviewers that drastically change a recipe, but won't submit their own. 4) Unlike other recipe sites, there is no indicator if a recipe is in the member's recipe box.

AllRecipes does have a graph of each recipe's ratings. However, it would be nice if broke it down to percentages too.
