In 2024, we added 116,000 new recipes from restaurants around North America!

Making Pekin the largest recipe site in the world in its first few months of operation!

Because of this we reached around 3 million eyes, so I put together a list of the most searched recipes since the site started back in June :)

All the dinners below are actually really healthy (mostly high protein, low calorie meals), but boy did the internet ever have a sweet tooth!

Anyways, hope you enjoy and Happy New Year! 🍾🎆
