Finally, Our Best Recipes From Over 25 Years Are Coming Together in a Cookbook (2024)

We all know why you’re here. You come to Allrecipes.com for the best recipes out there. The ones that have been vetted by our Test Kitchen, but also your peers. The ones that have been workshopped over the years until they’ve reached recipe perfection.

Well, over our 25 years of gathering the world's recipes, the cream has slowly risen to the top. A handful of recipes have been saved, shared, reviewed, and screenshotted so many times, they've become legends. They're the recipes you come back to time and time again, recipes we like to call “Keepers.” And finally, we’re putting them all together in a hard copy.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re thrilled to announce a book that’s been decades (and thousands of recipes) in the making: the Allrecipes Keepers Cookbook.

We’ve rounded up the best of the best to put every recipe you could need in one place. Think of it as everything you love about the #1 food website in the world, wrapped up in a pretty little package.

All About the Allrecipes Keepers Cookbook

This cookbook is a recipe collection created by the world’s largest food community, made up of more than 60 million home cooks (including you!). Year after year, these are the dishes we see our Allstars making. They’re tried-and-true, approachable, and most importantly, delicious.

This book is beautiful from the inside out. It’s hardcover with a soft-touch, scruff-resistant matte finish that would look stunning propped up on any countertop. Crack it open, and you'll find vibrant recipe photos so gorgeous, you’ll wish you could pull them right off the page and place them on the table.

This modern-style cookbook holds everything from the no-fail breakfast casserole you make every holiday to that "one thing" you’ve always wanted to try on a rainy day. It includes our top-rated recipes of all time, some with more than 10,000 5-star ratings, like our beloved Chicken Pot Pie, and some that our readers have been making for decades, like our Best Chocolate Chip Cookies.
