I started this website a little over a year ago and have reviewed over 90 recipes. In that time, I’ve discovered some truly exceptional recipes. Of course, not very recipe goes as planed, but the ones that exceed expectations make up for the disappointment. Of the approximately 90 recipes eligible for this list, 10 have earned a perfect score. 26 recipes have missed perfect by just one point. I just want to highlight those recipes and recipe makers here. Also, I think it would be remiss of me not to point out a couple writer (a few writers really) who set themselves apart from the rest of the pack with an impressive 7 recipes scoring a 9 or 10. Of course, this is dependent upon how many recipes I choose from each source, but if you consistently impress, you’re more likely to have people come back for more. Congratulations to Angie Rito, Scott Tacinelli, and Jamie Feldmar, authors of Italian American for compiling a body of consistently great recipes. Equally Impressive, Claire Saffitz has accumulated 8 recipes with scores of 9 or higher across her two books Dessert Person & What’s for Dessert. Congratulations to her, as well. For a link to the recipe or to the cookbook for each recipe, click on the picture associated with the entry.

I reached out to most of the authors of the recipes who received these high scores to see if they had anything to say about their recipe. Unfortunately, only Genevieve Ko of The New York Times was able to provide me with a quote for her recipe for Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.
