How many stars should this dish get?

As the primary recipe tester for the AJC Food & Drink section for over five years, trust me, I’ve tried a lot of recipes. Many are ones I develop for the 5:30 Challenge and other stories and columns I write. Some are culled from other professional sources (like my favorite mac & cheese recipe, which was originally printed in another newspaper). And of course, a whole bunch are from readers and other home cooks, like you.

Sometimes I try recipes to see if they’re tasty enough to print, but when someone sends in a favorite to share, I primarily test it to make sure the instructions are correct and clear. No matter where I get the recipe from, I realize it might not be my favorite, but know that others will love it. That’s the fascinating thing about food. It’s so personal.

At Evening Edge, we know half the battle of getting dinner on the table is deciding what to make. That’s why we’ve developed an easily searchable database of over 1,300 tried and true recipes. We’ve included quick and easy recipes from the 5:30 Challenge, as well as selections from other favorite columns including, What Can I Bring, In the Kitchen With, Saving Southern Food and From the Menu Of, which features recipes from Atlanta restaurants. To search, use the search box on the right side of this page. If you prefer to browse, we have a Recipe Browsing page.

Let us know which are your favorites. Each recipe has a spot to let you rate the recipe with one to four stars. You rate the recipe by clicking one star. First star is lowest, fourth star is highest. Only one vote per user, though!

We hope that each recipe we print is worth four-stars, but realize over the years, tastes change and maybe it’s best to retire a few oldies. So get cooking and get clicking. Your opinions matter here.
