Over seasoned
October 6, 2020

Try 4 respices so far, family and I dislike 3 out of 4.1st was chicken dumettes but turn out very average joe. Then the general tso chicken but we are not a fan of the rice vinegar. Loved the hand pies. Tonight was Mexican stuffed chicken, see pic below. Wasted my money and time. Overseaned and very disappointing. Would NOT recommend Allrecipes.

Eff all recipies!
July 17, 2016

I have been using their site for forever and so thankful to find this thread... I didn't realize the crashing and locking was because of Allrecipies and thought it was my iPad. I was on the phone with Apple for an hour just to find out it was All recipies. Ugh, I loved that site but not anymore. Please fix it.

No longer live feed. Have to type in your title as my all recipies app no longer works. It's harder to work the app. You should have left it the way it was.

This recipe has some wording that should be clarified in regard to the amount of rice. Instead of 8.8 oz of rice cooked it would be better to say 8.8 oz of COOKED rice. There is a difference. I should have followed my instinct and I wouldn't have ruined my mixture. I have used a lot of your recipes and liked them. I will trust my own cooking experiences in the future. The recipe really sounded good and easy to make was why I tried it I will have to stick with my old way to make cabbage rolls in the future.

I used to LOVE this site. I used it all the time. I hate it now and have just about given up on it. I have found I am searching for recipes anywhere other than her now. The site is so slow. The little Apple wheel just spins and spins. This does not happen on any other site I use. I loved you once allreipes but I am breaking up with you. Goodbye.

Very informitive site.
September 22, 2017

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.

This is so far the only recipe site I use. I love the serach feature,, it is very extensive. I like that you can adjust the servings on a recipe and it will change the ingredients for you. My favorite part is to read the reviews, because I have learned a great deal about how to imprive the recipe. When I look for the a recipe I sort by recipe rating for a dish.

I have been a allrecipes member for years and now I can't even find recipes I want to try. When I search for a recipe it gives me about a dozen to choose from and then the list turns into completely unrelated recipes that are suggestions for me. I want what I was searching for not smoked salmon or snickerdoodles. I recently lost all of my saved recipes when I went to login I was told my email address had expired and when I tried to enter it I was told they couldn't find it and to contact the admins. It's not worth the hassle anymore. Goodbye Allrecipes. I'll miss what you were, not what you've become.

I had used this site for a very long time. Now the search feature doesn't even work. It's completely useless now!

After years of entering recipes, writing reviews, blogging, and getting new ideas from this site, someone(s) on the allrecipes.com staff decided they needed to update their website. I'm only guessing they used 20-30 year olds who don't spend a lot of time cooking.

The updated site has the following problems:

Users can't access all the recipes they've entered onto the site.
Emails with a link to a new review of your recipe don't go to the review: they go to the recipe. From there, you have to find the "reviews" section on the page.
When looking for new recipes, users can't sort by recipe ratings.
Users who've posted blogs in the past can't access them.
Blogs are now filtered through their staff and, so far, the one I wrote about the problems I'm having with their new site hasn't been posted.

This used to be an incredibly user friendly site. Now, it's more focused on the look than ease of use and content. A perfect example of turning marketing over to those who haven't got a clue about what it's like to be a cook (or an iPhone user... but that's another story).
