Cookin’ with Google is now a Google Custom Search engine! You can try it for yourself here.

Cookin’ With Google allows you to provide a list of ingredients (what’s in the fridge?) and get back a list of recipes that Google finds for you.

Judy Hourihan had the great idea of Cookin’ with Google. Thanks Judy!

Right now Cookin’ with Google will find you recipes in several different categories, including:

• General
• Vegan/Vegetarian
• Weight Watchers
• WorldWide Cuisine
• Atkins Diet
• Diabetic
• Seafood
• Crockpot

Enter a few ingredients and then use the refinements option to narrow down the types of recipes you want. You can choose from the different categories listed above.
Some Search Tips
* Try searching for both items plural and singular. Searching for avocado apple gives very different results from avocados apples.

* Sometimes if you enter too many items you’ll narrow down your search too much. Try starting your search with just two or three ingredients.

* Try tossing in a cooking-related word, like broil or sautee. Conversely if you want to avoid certain words you can also exclude them; try excluding words like fry or lard.
