Keep a record of the food you actually make — then find out which of it is genuinely your best, one honest comparison at a time.

Nobody can tell the difference between a 7 and an 8. But everybody knows which of two dishes they'd rather eat again — so that's the only question Top Plate asks.
Pick the meal, take a photo, name it. Ingredients and steps are optional — write them when you feel like it, skip them when you don't. The point is the record, not the paperwork.
A new dish gets held up against things you've already made. Pick the one you'd rather eat again — or say it's too close to call. That's the whole interaction.
Those answers place the dish in your ranking and adjust every score around it. You never type a number, and the order stays honest because it was never a guess in the first place.
Follow the people you actually cook with. Steal their recipes, tag whoever stood at the stove with you, and the meal lands in both your histories — ranked separately, because you're allowed to disagree.
