    i haven’t formerly reviewed a recipe before, whether good or bad. I’m not sure why. Normally, I would research a recipe and find the ones with the highest number of reviews then compare ingredients and styles until one speak to me.

    I have reviewed recipes a couple of times but never written them down. I now know how to review recipes.

    My cookbooks are full of my notes. They have become journals. Taste, texture, date, tweaks, results, and recommendations are all written by the recipes.

    I like the idea of writing reviews for yoir own dishes, but mine would probably be pretty simple.

    i don’t formally rate the recipes i use. My rating consists of “yes we’re keeping this one” or “nope, won’t do that one again” and my biggest mistake is not having a note book in the kitchen when i cook and change or add to a recipe for future use.

    I usually just add things randomly, and it makes it dfficult to even cook the same meal because I do not keep record. But that’s about to change!

    I don’t formally review my recipes, but I definitely make a note when my family likes a dish…

    Yes, I do. I recently followed a recipe and when I ate the food, I realised that some of the herbs were to pungent and it made the food taste bitter. The next time I make the same recipe I will add less of that herb to make it more tasty.

    I haven’t really formally reviewed new dishes, although I think this is a great idea. I usually just ask my husband if he would eat it again, if he says yes, its included in my repertoire going forward.

    I never review recipes, yet I do give it a once over and change or delete any ingredients I don’t like or want.

    Never reviewed recipes. Made notes in some cases. Will try going forward.

    It’s a good idea. I will usually make notes when trying a new recipe. We have a verbal consensus at the time of trying something new it’s called a “DO-Over”. Meaning we can make it again. I like the star system though, would help later generations understand the family cookbook.

    I don’t formally review my recipies, but it is really not a bad idea! Luckily, some of the recipies are very simple and I remember them and also know exactly what they taste like. I find that I also get kinda used to certain recipies and don’t regard them as such “gourmet” dishes anymore. Then I make it for guests and everybody wants the recipe! I have forgotten how good it tasted when I first made it and my guests just had that same experience. So, it will be good to keep some kind of journal of wonderful dishes that are always a winner.

    I follow the recipe ingredients and prep, but not always the amount of each item. Add a little extra onion or less cilantro, something like that. If I like how it turns out, I will make it again.

    Most recipes I choose to follow are simple and easy. I just add a bit of my own flare. But now reviewing. Most of the time I just try to make things less bland in life. Not too heavy on complex recipes. Dont have the patience for it.

    If I really enjoy the new recipe then yes I make a note of it and plan on making it again.

    I am unfortunately in the habit of never following a recipe to the T. I always make a change or two. That being said, my reason is that I cook for a naturally healed ex-cancer patient with diabetes. Starting this way of cooking I also started changing my recipes in a way that are most of the time healthier.
