Now when you browse Alicia's and find recipes you want to try, you can save them to a favorite recipes box so that they will be there whenever you need them. To use this great feature, simply navigate to the recipe you want to save and click in the upper right corner where it says "add this recipes to your box of favorites".

Now you can rate the recipes that you try on a scale from 1 to 5. The rating stars are located in the upper left corner of each recipe. You do not need to be logged in to rate a recipe. If you are logged in the system will remember what you rated each recipe as and will display that to you.
