When you see a particularly tasty recipe or helpful tip in the database, help others find it too by Rating and Reviewing it!

Below the link to each resource is a link to Rate It or Review It, click the link and fill in the form. Only members of the 1001Recipes2Send.com Recipes Database are eligible to review and rate submissions.

What is the difference between Rating and Reviewing a submission? - Top

When you rate a submission (article, recipe or link) you are just making a choice of 1 to 10 (10 being great, 1 being bad). The votes and rating show up in the category listing and in the recipe card on the detail page of the recipe.

Reviews however are when you actually type in your opinion in words, for an example of a recipe with a review, please see:

http://www.1001recipes2send.com/Just_for_Kids/1544-Monster_Cookies.shtml

Please note the "Read the Review" link in the recipe card and if you see the link in the category listing it will also have a link to "Read the Review".

Not everyone who writes a review will rate the recipe 1-10 and visa versa. Only members of the 1001Recipes2Send.com Recipes Database are eligible to review and rate submissions.
