Similar to others, but I feel that "overall" is a much better word here than "average"

My Google search came up with 83 million hits for this, compared with only 56 million for "average rating" - doesn't necessarily prove anything, but it backs up my answer.

Average appraisal after you have tasted it.
Could it be "level of difficult"? Niveau de difficulté? Est-ce difficile à faire?
Could it be "cost of ingredients"?
Could it be "the lenght of time necessary to prepare"?
More context would bring more opinions ... Hasta luego ...

Tony M
: Would be OK in a very formal situation, but 'appraisal' is a rather erudite word for the not-too-formal register we are generally assuming

minor remark/note
yeah
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
Tony M
: Nope! I can see no justification for 'minor' — especially as 8/10 is actually quite a high mark; and I hardly feel that 'remark' would have a place alongside an actual rating/score like this

Average rating: 8/10
Hello,
I think that this is the average rating of the recipe (how it tastes)
They surveyed people who have tried this recipe out. This was the average rating (8/10).
I don't think it has anything to do with "difficulty" of recipe itself.
I hope this helps.

Melissa McMahon
: that makes sense of the 8/10, which seemed high for, eg. a 'medium' level of difficulty

average score
If indeed this is some kind of viewer / reader rating system, then this would be an alternative to Matt's answer, perhaps slightly less formal in tone, so suitable for a website, etc.
However, as Melissa has pointed out, without context, it's hard to be sure — it might equally well be a 'difficulty level', for example.

: Whatever it relayes too I think 'average score' is the more generally acceptable term in UK English

Thanks, Cervin! Certainly feels right to my ears, as long as register is suitable.
