2024 Best Recipes

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

This 2024 Best Recipes post contains twenty-four dishes our readers have loved, clicked, and read over and over this year. Some are perennial favorites, some are new, but all are delicious!

This post is one of my favorite year-end traditions. I spend so much time during the year creating recipes for “an everyday beautiful life,” compiling recipe collections from afternoon tea to holidays and everyday cooking that I hope will inspire you, and connecting with our readers that I don’t often get that rearview look back.

In 2024, we published and renewed more than 500 posts and wrote nearly 300,000 words. That is a lot of cooking, testing, reviewing, publishing, writing… and I love every single second of it!

Since 2016, the year 31Daily began, we’ve published more than 2,190 posts, written more than 1,600,000 words, and millions and millions of you, sweet readers, have visited the site and made the recipes.

Thank you, dear reader, for all you’ve done to make 31Daily a positive, informative, helpful, and inspiring community. Your reading, reviewing, asking questions, and sharing recipes are more special than you will ever know.

Thank you for a beautiful and delicious 2024!

Here’s to 2025!
