It’s Miscellany in, Delicious out with RecipeMatcher!
Most people are familiar with this trick; you type into Google a selection of ingredients and the word ‘recipe,’ and it returns a perfect recipe.
But here at AltSearchEngines, we contend that the “Alts” can often surpass the major search engines by focusing all of their energies on one particular aspect of search. So, is RecipeMatcher better than the Google trick? That’s exactly what I asked them.
“Yes, RecipeMatcher is better than searching recipes on Google and I’ll tell you why.
Sure, Google is great for a lot of things, but searching recipes is not one of them. With Google you can type in a couple ingredients and the word “recipe” and get a list of some decent recipes from many different websites. This is known as a search based on ingredients. Are any of them reviewed and tested? Sometimes. Do any of these recipes tell you what ingredients you need to pick up on the way home from work? Never. This type of search is good for the individual that is not interested in efficiency and taste. At RecipeMatcher, we’ve taken this ingredient search many steps further.
With RecipeMatcher, users can sign up for a free account and keep an inventory of all the groceries and ingredients that they have at home. From there, users can search thousands of delicious and tested recipes. The best thing about this search is that the searches return delicious recipes ranked by the highest percentage of ingredients you already have at home. RecipeMatcher will even tell you what ingredients you are missing and with a click of a button users can have a short grocery list of items you need to pick up at the store on the way home from work.”
Thanks, RecipeMatcher!
