Recipe-Finder: The Easy Way to Search for Recipes

July 3, 2023 by noemi

Looking for something to spice up your Christmas dinner? Here’s a cool new site which just might help you find that dish that will give that extra oomph to your Christmas meal: Recipe-Finder.

You can, of course, simply go to Google and look for a recipe. After all, Google knows everything, right? Then again, what if you do not know exactly what you are looking for? What if you only have certain ingredients in mind? What if you are thinking more about the prep time involved? Or maybe your guests are all health conscious, and you want to limit your dishes to healthy ones.

That’s where Recipe-Finder comes into the picture. This new recipe search engine makes everything easy for users to find recipes without having a very specific idea in mind. When you visit the homepage, you’ll see the mandatory search box, but more than that, you’ll receive a helping hand from links that can point you in the right direction. See the image below and you’ll know what I mean.

If, at the beginning, you don’t know exactly what you are searching for, the categories and the links will give you a start.

In addition, the Advanced Search feature makes your search even more customized.

As you can see, you can specify the calorie content, the cooking time, and the number of servings. These parameters certainly gives you more relevant results for your search!

You can also do an image search to check out the most enticing images of dishes. More than simply getting the images, though, if you hover on one, you will see a preview of the recipe, which is clickable and will also give you a quickview version.

Recipe-Finder is perhaps the largest recipe search engine in existence today, and it is developed by IOIX, a privately funded company that has contributors from Japan, Ukraine, Europe, and the Philippines. The team built this search engine from scratch, with currently 650,000 recipes indexed. That should be enough to give you an idea of what to cook for all those Christmas parties, shouldn’t it? 😉

Health and Fitness Apps to Motivate You

July 2, 2013 by DailyBits

I’m a sucker for health and fitness apps. I suppose that is not a surprise to anyone who knows me, as I do tend to be more obsessive about this topic than the average person. I pay careful attention to what I buy at the supermarket, to what I eat, and to how much physical activity I engage in on a regular basis.

That’s not to say that that’s all I think about. I do like gadgets and technology, too! So yes, unsurprisingly, I’m here to talk about health and fitness apps that will motivate you. [Read more…] about Health and Fitness Apps to Motivate You

Spock Oven Mitt for the Trekkie Baker

October 11, 2011 by noemi

It’s National Chocolate Week, and people have been making delectable chocolate concoctions all week. Have you been doing your part?

If you are – or think you are – an ace in the kitchen, and you also cannot get enough of Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew, then here is something that you ought to add to your (kitchen utensils/tools) arsenal: an oven mitt for Vulcans. Now you may not be a real Vulcan and may only be aspiring to be one, but practically everyone can form the Vulcan salute anyway.

The mitt is heat-safe and is made of neoprene, so you can be sure that your precious hands are kept safe while you do what you do in the kitchen. Bad news for lefties – they only mitts that fit the right hand! Still, I am sure you can manage to use this.

What do you think? While Spock will definitely not need to use the oven – food synthesizer, hello? – it is still a pretty cool accessory to have around for making cookies with yummy MSG. Grab one – or two – at Menino’s for $29.99. (Yes, I think the price is rather steep, especially since it is already at a $10 discount!)

Here’s one last look at the mitt.
