Google launched on Thursday a new search function, Recipe View, which makes it easier to find recipes on the web.
The service is now available only in the US and Japan, but will soon be available to users from other countries.
Recipe View allows you to narrow your search results to show only recipes, and helps you choose the most suitable recipe, showing its ratings, ingredients and photos. To use the function, simply click on the “Recipes” link in the left pane. ')
You can search for specific recipes — such as [chocolate chip cookies] (for example, [ chocolate chip cookies] ) or more general ones — for example, [strawberry] ( [strawberry] ) to find recipes that use strawberries. You can even search for a holiday or an event — for example, [the fifth day of May] ( [cinco de mayo] , the national holiday of Mexico). In general, you can try to search for anything and get interesting results: a favorite chef - [Aine Garten] ( [ina garten] ), something very specific - [Spicy vegetarian curry with coconut and tofu] ( [spicy vegetarian curry with coconut and tofu] ), or even something incomprehensible - [strange salad] ( [strange salad] ).
You can also filter search results based on ingredients, cooking time and number of calories - using the tools on the left side of the page. For example, you can find recipes for vegetable biryani (Indian rice dish), which include cauliflower and which you can cook a dish in less than an hour:
