What is Real Best Recipe?

The idea behind Real Best Recipe came about as Megan perused Pinterest and kept coming across people claiming to have “the BEST” chocolate chip cookie recipe. She found herself wondering which of these recipes really was the best? Soon, she began noticing that this problem was not unique to chocolate chip cookies. “The BEST” lasagna, “the BEST” french fries, “the BEST brownies,” and a plethora of other “BEST” food items began flooding the internet. Every time she searched for recipes, Megan ended up wondering, “which one should I make?!?” This led to endless clicking and reading through hundreds of reviews and comments on each “BEST” recipe in order to attempt to figure out which recipe really was the best. Megan realized she couldn’t be the the only person who was frustrated by this. Megan then got her mom, Marcia, and sister, Jen, on board to help tackle this problem.

The purpose of Real Best Recipe is for us to locate and try all these recipes for you, so you can be confident that you have the absolute best recipe every time, without having to sort through twenty websites, read thousands of reviews, make multiple trips to the grocery store, and cook three different lasagnas. We do all this work for you!

Each week, we will try the three most popular “BEST” recipes of a different food item, and will tell you which one is the real best recipe! We will also give other general feedback on each recipe, such as how expensive each was, and how hard to find the ingredients were.
To determine which recipes are most popular, we search the internet, popular recipe websites, Pinterest, and popular food blogs, cookbooks, and food websites. The top three are chosen by number of comments and high reviews, and other subjective criteria (e.g., a “classic” recipe).
