How can I Review and Rate recipes?
Share your valuable opinion (and great sense of taste!) by rating and reviewing a recipe.
The ratings/reviews on Allrecipes are a valuable resource to our community because they show how the
members and their families feel about a recipe. Does the recipe get raves—or does it never get made
again? Your opinion counts. Our staff monitors reviews on a daily basis. NOTE: You must be a registered
Allrecipes member in order to review/rate a recipe. Here’s how:
- Click on the Review/Rate This Recipe link to the right side of the photo on the recipe page OR
you can rate and review recipes from your Recipe Box. Select the Rate It link next to the recipe
title in your Recipe Box.
- Rate/review the recipe using the following guidelines:
- Make and taste the recipe before you review or rate it.
- Keep reviews focused on the cooking and eating experience.
- Don’t add links to other sites.
- Don’t add comments about other reviewers.
- Be specific. Good reviews are great. And bad reviews are just as valuable. Just make sure you use appropriate language.
If you encounter an inappropriate review, please report it to the staff of Allrecipes.

All recipes are great recipes!
Kitchen-Approved recipes are recipes from our members that have passed through our editorial

Personal Recipes are recipes from members which have not gone through the Allrecipes editorial
process. In many cases, they have not been reviewed by Allrecipes staff.
Custom Recipes are customized versions of Kitchen-Approved recipes, which have been altered and
saved by a Supporting Member of Allrecipes.
