Best Cooking and Recipe Web site to be Named by Web Marketing Association in 29th Annual WebAward Competition

Calling all Cooking and Recipe websites around the globe, the Web Marketing Association’s 29th annual WebAward Competition, hosted online at www.webaward.org, aims to set the benchmark in web development across 86 industries, including Cooking and Recipe, by evaluating seven key success criteria. Cooking and Recipe websites aiming to participate should submit by May 30, 2025.


“In the culinary world, particularly within the cooking and recipe sector, a website serves as an essential ingredient for motivating and captivating home chefs and gastronomy aficionados,” expressed William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Yet, distinguishing oneself in a kitchen filled with diverse flavors and ingredients can be challenging. The WebAward Competition furnishes a stage for cooking and recipe sites to display their culinary creativity, pioneering ideas, and success in disseminating mouthwatering recipes, culinary advice, and cooking methods. This accolade not only spotlights the excellence of the award-winning site but also garners valuable feedback and marketing opportunities for both the site and the masterminds behind its creation, underscoring their dedication to enhancing the art and science of cooking.”

Cooking and Recipe Websites face judgment on seven fundamental criteria: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each entry in the Cooking and Recipe segment is measured against other Cooking and Recipe entries in its category and a general standard of excellence.

Cooking and Recipe category entrants get valuable feedback on how their scores compare with industry averages. They also have the chance to receive specific advice from the WebAward’s panel of judges on their website development strategies.

Winners of a WebAward in the Cooking and Recipe category will also receive:

  • Increased visibility for their company
  • Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
  • Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
  • Social media posts for your company and personal feeds
  • A highlight for your resume.
  • Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Cooking and Recipe Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.
