1. How do I contact Rice-Recipes.com?
   Unfortunately it is impossible for us to respond personally to the many recipe requests that we receive. If you are looking for a recipe, we suggest you post your question at the FinerKitchens Recipe Swap. For more information on contacting the webmaster, see our contact page.
2. Where do the recipes come from?
   The site started as a small collection of personal recipes from immediate family members. It grew as friends and other family members added their recipes. Now, all users are free to submit a recipe!
   
3. How do I submit a recipe?
   Just go to the Recipe Submission page.
4. I sent a recipe, but you didn't add it to your site. Why?
   It might be because we already have something very similar on the site. Or the recipe might lack some vital information. Sadly, we have to delete a lot of recipe submissions for the following reasons: you can't simply say:
   
   1 can of evaporated milk
   1 package of chocolate chips
   
   You have to specify the exact size of the can or package so that inexperienced bakers trying the recipe for the first time (or people living in countries where standard sizes of common ingredients are different from yours) know what size to buy. You must specify:
   
   1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
   1 (6-ounce) package of chocolate chips
   
   Or you might have said "bake in a slow oven" without giving an exact oven temperature. Or your recipe might have called for ingredients that are extremely difficult to find in North America, making it impossible for the overwhelming majority of our users to make your recipe.
5. I posted a recipe review; how come it didn't get added to your site?
   We have very strict guidelines for the reviews and we personally approve (or reject) every single one. The review form strongly suggests you Read the Review Guidelines before you post your review. If your review didn't get added it is always because the review didn't conform to the guidelines.
   
   Maybe you typed in ALL CAPS, or maybe you said the recipe was horrible but you gave it 5 stars (which is incongruous, and we don't know how many stars you wanted to give it). Maybe you only said that the recipe sounded good or that your grandmother had one like it that was good - we only want reviews of that exact recipe that you have actually made. You may appear to be spamming by posting reviews for 7 different recipes under 7 different names. In that case all reviews will be deleted.
   
   And YES we do post negative reviews! If you didn't like something, we want to know about it. But if a recipe has too many negative reviews, we'll just delete the recipe, so that is why you won't find many recipes with negative reviews.
6. Why don't you have more photos of the recipes?
   We're unable to test every recipe that gets added to the site, and ususally people do not send us photos when they submit a recipe. If you want more pictures, how about helping us out by taking photos of the recipes you've made and submitting them via the Recipe Submission page? Thanks!
