Cooking is no doubt one of the best ways to save money. The problem is, bar instant noodles, plain rice and fried eggs, I can’t really cook. Enter foodieview the recipe search engine, which has so far certainly made life easier for a cooking newbie like myself.
Here are 3 things I love about foodieview:
- Ability to filter down by ingredient, style, and source. For example, if you want a chicken dish which contains cheese, Italian style, and by Martha Stewart, you can get it.
- Strict site indexing policy. You don’t have to deal with crap you find with regular search engines like Yahoo or Google. This ensures a higher quality of the food sites it searches.
- Ability to save favourite recipes to a single location and share those links with your friends.
While you’re at it, you can also try watching the cooking show for geeks Ctrl-Alt-Chicken, co-hosted by Alex Albrecht (co-founder of Digg).

FOODIEVIEW FIREFOX KEYWORD SEARCH
I used your idea about how to search google for music and combined it with your post about foodieview.com and came up with this little ditty to add foodieview search to firefox’s keyword searching:
Add bookmark:
name: foodieview search
location: http://www.foodieview.com/search.jsp?query=%s&recipe=y&x=0&y=0
keyword: recipe
description: Type in keyword “recipe” then search terms
works likea charm!!

NARROW FIREFOX KEYWORD SEARCH BY INGREDIENTS–addendum to FOODIEVIEW FIREFOX KEYWORD SEARCH
You can add ingredients to the search by typing keyword “recipe” followed by recipe name (i.e. “punch”) followed by a space and the ingredient name. A search for “punch” with “rum” as the ingredient looks like this:
keyword rum punch
I tried this by adding several ingredients after the recipe type and it worked for me
