Need ideas on what an easy recipe looks like? Or maybe you want a tasty, hearty recipe for some soup? Check out our wiki for both!

#Rules

1. Don’t be an asshole - Abusive, offensive, or generally unpleasant behavior is prohibited. For general guidelines on posting, we encourage taking a look at Rediquette.

2. Keep it clean - We’re here for the food, nothing else. If you wouldn’t feel comfortable showing it to your mother at the dinner table, then it has no place being shared here.

(Products of permissive parenting may need to establish their own threshold).

3. Easy, typed recipes are a must - This is why this subreddit exists. Please be sure that your posts include a typed list of ingredients and instructions. Remember, though, the key word here is easy, so no need to publish your own cookbook! Just ask yourself, “if I found this recipe on the street, could I recreate it without any additional context?”

4. Videos should only enhance a recipe - If a picture is worth a thousand words than videos must be something special. Problem is, they’re not always the most accessible medium. If you’ve got the perfect video to round out your recipe, then please, include it, but please don't make it the point of your post.

Remember, a video is like frosting. It's fantastic on cake, but cake it is not.

5. No spamming; limit self-promotion- We love seeing your talents, but we're not here to be your personal feed. Please limit your self promotion to ~10% of your content within our community. For more details, check out Reddit's "best practices" for self promotion and "What constitutes spam? Am I a spammer?."

Be authentic; keep contributions meaningful - Our goal is to foster a community that serves up authentic content that is meaningful for our users. Recipes do come in all shapes and sizes, and while r/easyrecipes is intended for, well, easy recipes, there are some instances when a recipe might be too easy. While this is an awfully subjective rule, that will be enforced as such, as a general guideline if the recipe is printed on the package, it's not a recipe we need posted here (e.g. how to make instant ramen).
