What happens after I submit my recipe?
Our editorial team reviews each reader recipe before we publish them on the site. When we've published your recipe, you'll receive an e-mail saying "Congratulations! Your recipe has been approved" and the link to your recipe will be provided.

Recipe rejection guidelines
If we have to reject a recipe, you'll receive an e-mail saying "Your recipe almost made it…" We reject recipes based on the following criteria:

- Copyrighted recipe
- Too many errors in the text
- Recipe already on the site
- Preparation method not precise enough
- Not a recipe
- Ingredients not precise enough
- Missing information in the preparation method
- Cooking temperature not specified
- Recipe text must not be in capital letters
- Recipe title not comprehensible

Double-check your recipe before submitting to make sure it doesn't contain any of these errors!

Still need help? Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of this screen and we will find an answer for you.
