When you really like a recipe and want to share your enthusiasm or have a few suggestions for how you made a recipe on our site even better, it's helpful to leave a short comment letting us know. If a recipe doesn't work out exactly as you thought it would, but you managed to improvise and make it great, we'd love to hear about it, and other readers probably would too! Whatever the case may be, we appreciate your feedback, and enjoy regularly hearing from our readers. It allows us to help make your experience our on our site the best it can be. While many of you may be familiar with How To Rate and Comment On Recipes on Our Site, some of you may not. This handy guide will show you everything you need to know about interacting on our site via the comments and rating section at the very bottom of each of our recipes.
