The Best Recipes of 2025

The best recipes of 2025 are in! They're so good, you’ll be making them in 2026 and beyond.

Every year, Taste of Home readers remind us that the best recipes come straight from home kitchens. We get thousands of recipe submissions, each one earning a Test Kitchen-approved stamp before it’s published to the site.

There are so many recipes that it would be impossible to choose the best of the best without your help! You pinned them on Pinterest, shared them on social media and saved them to your recipe box, helping us determine which ones rise to the top.

These are the dishes that won hearts (and taste buds!) everywhere, whether they’re brand-new recipes or tried-and-true classics. From family dinners to bake-sale favorites, every recipe here is reader-approved, home-tested and downright delicious.
