AllRecipes

I used to love allrecipes. It was like a small community of women/men sharing their family recipes. I went back recently and the site has changed- I'm surprised my recipe box is still intact. I had a very hard time finding it.
Pictures of the dishes are professionally shot- (they used to be amateurly-taken and didn't always look appetizing but were accurate).
The dishes seemed invented by the same few people- (presumably on the allrecipes team). Not by a community passing down their family recipes.
This site is a total money-grabbing sham. It's horrible how they've deviated from their grass roots and small community goals.

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.

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...

I used to love allrecipes.com and allrecipes.co.uk. I had quite a few "go to" recipes which I found by searching by star rating. Suddenly the site is a hotchpotch of recipes. There may be several hundreds or in some cases, thousands recipes for a particular dish, e.g. apple pie, lasagne/lasagna or brownies but they are completely jumbled up with one star recipes, four star recipes and some new recipes that have not even been rated. I just don't have the time to search through hundreds of recipes to find my favourites. Sadly I didn't book mark or copy my favourite allrecipes recipes. Trying to filter by ingredients doesn't work when your go to recipe was failry standard. Hundreds upon hundreds are returned in the search. Life is too short to use the site. My friends say exactly the same thing.

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.
