About Allrecipes
Allrecipes began in 1997 as a cookie recipe exchange built by university students and became the largest recipe site in the world, built almost entirely on submissions and reviews from home cooks rather than professional food writers. IAC bought its parent Meredith in 2021, and the site now sits alongside People and Better Homes & Gardens in the group's Dotdash Meredith publishing arm.
