This is my go to site for recipes. Whenever I run out of ideas for meals I go to this site for fresh ideas. I knocked off one star because I think they are lacking on vegan/vegetarian/healthy recipes but I love everything else about this site. I always read the reviews before trying out the recipes.

Allrecipes is now a garbage site. Can no longer print recipes so smartphones and tablets stay out of the kitchen. Won't work with Echo Show properly either. You ask for pot roast recipes, it gives you one, plus 500 other recipes not even remotely resembling pot roast. So full of ads and other extraneous crap that it is difficult to distinguish what is important and what is not. Sad commentary on what is going on generally these days.

I like this site because it gives me lots of great starting ideas! I like to take the recipes and alter them a bit for the flavor I like. I enjoy the way they organize the site according to the meat and cuts. It makes it so much easier for meal ideas.

This site is great
May 11, 2011

This site is great. I can browse different recipes by what meal it is, what food is in it, or my type of food. I can then save the recipes I like in my recipe box. I love to do that so I don't forget the recipes that turn out good or ones that look good from other users. I also love reading the reviews. Sometimes people change the recipes a bit for the better so I love hearing their input.

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.

I saw a picture on the site under "summer recipes" that I wanted ingredients for. When I clicked on picture it took me to page full of recipes but not that one. I put in ingredients that I could see in pic but still couldn't find it. This site is frustrating. I've used it for several years but may move on now.

Very difficult to use
November 13, 2022

I have been registered on allrecipes.com almost since they started. It used to be super easy to use and find interesting recipes. Now it is terrible. If you are looking for something like a recipe for chicken casseroles, you get mostly links to a series of recipes that is nothing like they used to be. You used to be able to search by recipes that have ingredients that you'd like to include as well as ingredients that you don't want to include. That feature is completely gone. I could browse old allrecipes for hours finding recipes that I'd like to cook. I've recommended the site to many friends but I would never recommend it now. Why did you guys have to "fix" something that wasn't broke?!?!?

I've loved and trusted Allrecipes.com for years. But in the last few months, I can't visit the website on my phone without getting automatically forwarded to a scam "You've been selected for a free iPhone/amazon giftcard/whatever!" website. I downloaded the app, but as you know, it's worthless, so I deleted it.

Opting to use the website solely on my laptop, I've noticed some... strange things happening when I'm on the website. Like my MacBook pro reloads the page, and the fan kicks in. I'm going to repeat that: the Macbook's FAN KICKS IN. What is this website doing to my laptop?! I even got an error message that said the website was using "too much memory." Literally, this has never happened with any other website. I have SO much memory available on my laptop. What is going ON?!
