About Rate My Recipes
Rate My Recipes is a home-cooking website for people who want dinner, breakfast and dessert to turn out well without needing professional training or specialty equipment.
What we do
We publish tested, approachable recipes for everyday cooking: weeknight dinners, comforting pasta, weekend breakfasts, simple baking and dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world. Each recipe is written by the Rate My Recipes Kitchen, our editorial team, and includes clear numbered steps, precise ingredient amounts in both US and metric measurements, oven temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius, and approximate nutrition information.
How we write recipes
We believe a recipe is only useful if it works the same way in your kitchen as it does in ours. That is why every recipe on this site is developed around a few principles:
- Everyday ingredients. We favor ingredients you can find at a regular supermarket and offer substitutions when a specialty item is helpful but not essential.
- Explain the why. We describe why a step matters, such as why to rest the batter or dry-brine the chicken, so you can cook with confidence and adapt.
- Realistic timing. Prep and cook times reflect how long things really take, including the time spent chopping and waiting for the oven.
- Safe handling. We provide safe internal temperatures and storage guidance alongside every recipe.
