What is a Blue Ribbon?
Blue Ribbons are our way of giving a little extra kudos to outstanding home cooks and their recipes.
How are Blue Ribbons Awarded?
There are several ways that we find Blue Ribbon recipes:
Our very own Test Kitchen reviews and prepares a large sampling of promising recipes.
Folks in the Honorary Kitchen Crew test recipes at their leisure in their own home kitchens.
Members of Just A Pinch can nominate their favorite recipes after stamping them Family Tested & Approved.
Nominated recipes are elevated to the Test Kitchen for review and testing.
Blue Ribbon Fast Track
Once a year, Premium members can "boost" a recipe for the Test Kitchen to try by using their Blue Ribbon Fast Track.
