At BestRecipes.co, we want the comment section to feel helpful, respectful, and worth reading.
We are all here because we want cooking to feel easier, more fun, and more doable.
Comments can add value to a recipe or article when they share thoughtful feedback, useful tips, kind questions, or real cooking experiences. We welcome that. We want this to be a space where readers can learn from each other, ask for help, and talk about what worked in their kitchens.
What We Welcome
We encourage comments that:
- ask genuine questions about a recipe or article
- share helpful feedback or cooking results
- offer respectful substitution notes or variations
- point out possible errors or unclear instructions
- contribute to a constructive conversation
What We Do Not Allow
We may remove comments that include:
- spam or promotional links
- abusive, aggressive, or harassing language
- hate speech or discriminatory remarks
- misleading, deceptive, or intentionally false information
- off-topic or irrelevant content
- repeated posting or other disruptive behavior
- content that violates another person’s privacy or rights
We also reserve the right to remove comments that are clearly meant to derail the conversation rather than contribute to it.
Recipe Feedback and Substitutions
We love hearing how recipes work in real kitchens.
If you made major changes to a recipe, we ask that you mention that in your comment so other readers have the right context. Substitutions and personal tweaks can be helpful, but they may change the final result.
If something in a recipe did not work as expected, respectful feedback is welcome. Clear, specific comments help us improve recipes and help other readers too.
Moderation
Comments may be moderated before or after they appear on the site.
We reserve the right to edit or remove comments at our discretion, especially when they violate this policy or do not contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
We are not obligated to publish every comment submitted.
Respect for the Community
We want BestRecipes.co to be a welcoming place for home cooks of all skill levels.
Disagreement is fine. Rudeness is not. If you participate in the comments, please do so with respect for other readers, contributors, and the team behind the site.
