How our recipes are made

We studied thousands of top-rated home recipes from around the world to learn what makes a dish a favorite. Each Kitchen Helper recipe starts from one or two well-loved versions of the dish, rated 4.5 stars or higher by the home cooks who made them. We then wrote a recipe of our own, with the help of AI, built for busy weeknights.

Before a recipe goes into a book, it is checked against our rules for clear steps, honest times, safe cooking temperatures and amounts, and reviewed by two independent AI recipe testers. The star ratings belong to the recipes we learned from, not to ours. Home cooks in our family and circle, across the country and abroad, are now cooking recipes from every book, and we will share what they find.
