Shared Items

This tab provides convenient one-click access to view and edit your:

• Recipes

Checking the status of your recipe submission

You can now see where your recipe is in the submission queue. Just go to the Shared Items tab in your recipe box and click on My Submitted Recipes. You’ll see an icon next to your recipe indicating its status:

• Waiting for Review
• Reviewed—Not Accepted
• Accepted—Editing for Publication
• Published
• To view more information on the status of a particular recipe, just click on the icon.

When you click on the Submit button after entering a recipe, it is not automatically posted to our site. We receive hundreds of recipe submissions every week, and each one must be reviewed to ensure it is not under copyright. Every submitted recipe is then edited and matched to our nutrition database. To keep a good balance of recipe types on the site, recipes are chosen based on seasonality, originality and ability to meet the member community’s needs.

Please know that while not every recipe is posted, we do value each recipe submission. Every recipe is stored in our database for possible future inclusion on the site.

How do I submit a recipe request?

We have more than 40,000 recipes on Allrecipes, and you can find them by using several different search methods. Please view the Finding Recipes FAQs for help on using the search tool.

If you can’t find the recipe you want, you can post a recipe request. To submit a recipe request, click on the Recipe Exchange link at the top of any page. Click on the Request a Recipe link in the orange bar beneath the navigation tabs on the left side of the page, fill out the form, and click Post.
