HOW IT STARTED

1997

Five University of Washington grad students launch a recipesharing community and baking site. Cookierecipe.com and spin-off sites (for cakes, pies, and other recipe types) are later combined into one megasite: Allrecipes.com

2000

Allrecipes becomes the first food brand to introduce member-submitted recipes with reviews and ratings and a digital recipe box.

2008

Allrecipes launches a mobile app for easy recipe searching from your mobile device, wherever you are. The same year, the brand launches the first of 18 international sites.

(In 2018, the top-rated recipes from these sites were incorporated in the main Allrecipes.com site.)

2011

Allrecipes creates its Allstars program, celebrating the most engaged users and brand enthusiasts. And Allrecipes teams up with John Mitzewich, aka Chef John, and his Food Wishes video series.

2013

Allrecipes magazine hits newsstands— and the homes of 500,000 initial subscribers and home cooks.
