I'll be honest: I have never submitted or even rated a recipe on RecipeZaar. What I have done is looked up recipes for things I might never have even thought to make. The ability to search by ingredient is a lifesaver. Sometimes you’re broke and you’ve got nothing in the house but canned tomatoes and corn; with ingredient search, you can find a recipe that uses those! Looking by diet is great if you’ve got dietary restrictions – you don’t have to worry about having to manually sort out the vegetarian or low-fat recipes from the fatty, meaty recipes that you can’t eat. There aren’t quite as many recipes as other sites might have, but what recipes there are, are well done and well-organized.

If you love tried and true recipes you'll love RecipeZarr!

My favorite recipe website is All Recipes, but I do go to RecipeZaar when I'm looking for something I can't find on All Recipes.   The types of recipes I can't find on All Recipes are copycat recipes.  Things such as Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo, or Hardee's Biscuits, or McDonald's Big Mac.  These recipes are found easily on RecipeZaar.  I like the user reviews on this site, because it helps you to tweak the recipe just right.  Finding recipes are simple because the search box also gives you suggestions.  I like the fact that the recipes include nutritional value of the foods. The interface is simple, and the ads are not obtrusive.
