A new main squeeze? Today I learned from one of my blog faves "lifehacker.com" about this bountiful new recipe search engine called "food.com" (bet that URL cost a few clams). The search device is still in beta, but appears to work pretty well. Do a search for a dish or ingredient, and it'll return results in a consistently formatted, filterable manner. You'll get a pic from the source page, an ingredient list, as well as categorization of results into cuisine, cooking method/technique, time involved, course, main ingredient, specialized diet, and source of the recipe. It doesn't search the entire interweb, but rather checks other recipe powerhouses like epicurious, Chow.com (which I love anyway), lots of magazines, etc. Feel free to add your own yummy recipes to the searchable database as well. It also provides a "recipe box" for stashing and organizing your delicious new discoveries. You can also add a food.com search toolbar to your browser to help it take over your life even more. The site requires registration.
Ah, new love...
Speaking of new love, this is my first post here, and I just wanted to say thanks for everything you've written (I've read it all) and thanks for having me!

Oh, wow, what a great site! I've been taking it for a spin, and it has a great feel to it. My recipe box is growing already. Thanks for sharing the good news!
ReplyDeleteThis just made my recipe research so much easier! I've been working on the ultimate blueberry muffin recipe and this made it easy to get some new ideas. Looks like it'll give me some good ideas for what to do with all my amaranth too....
