Your Favorite Recipes of 2024

reader favorite recipes of 2024

The time has come for one of my favorite traditions: uncovering YOUR favorite recipes of the year!

a collage of favorite recipes from 2024

At the end of the year, I analyze the data to determine which of my new recipes resonated the most with you.

It always fascinates me to see the results, and I love reminiscing on the past year.

Which recipes earned the top spots this year?

  • Unlike in past years, this year didn’t present many clear themes.
  • Of course, you are still enjoying the basics! The recipes that you’ll come back to over and over again.
  • However, there were also a handful of unique, more complex recipes that you favored.

I’m forever grateful for each and every one of you who visits the site, tries my recipes, and shares your feedback, no matter which dishes earn top spots each year.

THANK YOU for being a part of the Well Plated community and for welcoming my recipes into your homes!
