AFAICS, the "peer reviews" of recipes also tend to say something like, "I didn't have any garlic, so I used leeks. And I don't care for caraway, so I used slivered almonds. And I was saving the last of my vanilla extract for a cake, so I used lemon extract..." IOW, they twist the original recipe all or partly out of recognition, which isn't a review of the recipe. OTOH, I like comments like, "Next time, I'll use 1/2 cup less sugar" or "I think thyme is too strong for this dish."
