The Bad

Lack of a filtering system
No forum or ask a question section
No meal planner

The most troublesome part of Delish.com is that there is no effective way to filter search results. Delish does provide a way for you to browse categories, such as dinner, desserts, and cocktails however it doesn't have a feature which also you to exclude certain types of meals within those categories. If a user wants a vegetarian dinner recipe the user must search for vegetarian and then browse through the recipes for one which can be used for dinner. This continues to be a problem if the user has specific dietary restrictions or preferences and it makes the process of finding an exact recipe quite long. Delish is formatted to be browsed by a user who has time; if this is not the case the busy user could become frustrated. Additionally, Delish does not provide a place for users to ask questions or discuss issues they may be having with a recipe. A forum or "ask a question" section allows users to troubleshoot when something going wrong and provide helpful suggestions to other users after they have tried the recipe. The site does allow commenting on a recipe but experts or other cooks rarely respond to them.

The Bottom Line

As a whole we recommend Delish to users who want to take the time to explore what is hot and trending in the food world and maybe try a new recipe. For users who want a specific type of dish and do not want to spend much time looking for it, we recommend going elsewhere. While the site contains numerous recipes it is difficult to navigate through them. Without filters, a user could be spending hours looking for the right recipe and many people do not have that kind of time.

I bought the Keto Made Easy magazine and enjoy reading, the photos and trying the recipes. However, I would question the accuracy of the nutritional breakdowns. Cloud Bread has 10g of carbs printed; how is this possible when eggs and cream cheese are the only real ingredients? Disappointed with this.

Delish USED to be 10 stars, great recipes, cute videos.......all around wonderful! But something has changed, now they post NON COOKING things that are agenda based.......they like to use profanity in their videos (I guess they think that makes them cool...ugh!) AND when you complain on their FB page in a message about their profanity, you get an auto reply that says "they will be right with you when they can take a break from cooking".........but then NEVER get back to you. OBVIOUSLY, NOT the kind of CUSTOMER company most want to support!!!! The changes in "delish" are NOT for the better........need to find another venue to support, this one is going down fast!

I liked the recipes that I could get with Delish and thought that if I purchased a subscription I would get a more enhanced version. This is not the case. It would have been better had I just used the free recipes. There really is no real benefit in getting a paid subscription unless you are using tons of recipes each month. Otherwise you are wasting your money. You would think paying for a service you would not be subjected to the plethora of ads they have. But, unfortunately this is not the case. For every on recipe you have to weed through 5 or more ads. It is ridiculous. I find myself giving up because of the amount of ads. This is one of the worst services I have paid for and wish they gave a free trial before purchase. But, they will never do that because they know nobody would bother with it because it is so bad.

Delish was a great site until they went to a subscription model. Everyone knows how much they are making off of the ads in their content. So then taking it the next level with a subscription model reveals what they are actually after.... Money. Bottom line, there are better sites out there than Delish that won't go to a subscription model. Buh-Bye Delish.com

Delish is for people who enjoy paying for recipes that they can get just about anywhere else on the internet for free. Also it makes no sense that the content is surrounded by ads so you have to pay for recipes and still see tons of ads. They seem to e doing a great job of driving traffic to other sites who have ads but thanks to Delish, the other site's ad revenue will continue to grow based on new traffic from Delish.

Who ever gave you the Keto cheesecake is an absolute waste of good food . This cheese cake is the worst I have ever tried. Almost gaged on a mouthful. All ended up in the garbage. Who ever vetted this recipe has done your magazine a truly disservice especially for us who look up to experts in Keto. I hate throwing food out because it just so wasteful . You have no name with the recipe,no one willing to put there name to it.

If I could give this company a zero star rating I would. Some of the recipes are good, but many are not. But that is not my reason for the low rating. The fact that you must, now, pay a fee to join and read recipes is ludicrous. I will never subscribe to this terrible site.

Never order products from this company. Over a month, never shipped order and they cant tell me where it is and supervisor basically told me there is nothing they can do. I'll have to wait. Can't dispute the charge with the bank because I authorized it.

Delish.com encourages Pinterest users to pin their recipes but doesn't inform them that after a number of views of those pins, they will start being charged to view their pins of Delish recipes. In my thousands of pins from hundreds of websites, this is the first time I've encountered this.

Just tried the cherry Garcia brownies. Sad. Flavors didn’t work, cream cheese layer on top was unappetizing brown. Didn’t cook evenly. Just the latest in recipes from Delish that were a disappointment.

If I could give zero stars I would. I refuse to pay a fee to a website for recipes because they are taking advantage of the pandemic and families being forced to stay home. Insane!

Was one of my favorite go-to web sites for great recipes, not any more the GREED has come out and they now charge for recipes you can get on other websites for free. Goodbye Delish.com I hope this new business model tanks!

You have recipes that you call low carb. Why do not show how many carbs per portion are in the recipe!!
