New feature: The recipe browser

 

recipe browser / loveandlemons.com

 

I’m really excited to launch this new feature… Jack (my very talented programmer husband), created this newfangled recipe browser. You can now search by season, special diet, meal type, ingredient… and, best of all, a combination of them all.

As you check boxes, the recipe options on the right will narrow down. For example, if you are looking for a spring, gluten free, breakfast recipe with eggs, you can see those options in just a few clicks. A vegan dessert with coconut? Coming right up…

I hope this makes for happier, easier searching! Click here to start browsing.

(Or click the “recipes” link at the top of the page).

Also, let me know if there’s a category/tag you’d like to see that’s not currently listed.

  1. Such a cool search functionality. I like that you can search by ingredient. Perfect when you have leftovers of something and need an idea of what to make.

    Geeks about food AND technology – my favorite combination! Thanks for creating this helpful and beautiful tool. Love how the list of ingredients is all veggies and fruit until…. chocolate. 😉

    Jeanine,

    Great idea! Your recipe box is growing and growing! It will be nice to see all of them whenever I need them.

    Thanks for everything!

  4. Wow this is so amazing. All your recipes are healthy, delicious and well crafted. I can’t wait to use this tool for those weeknight dinners when I can’t decide what to make.

  10. Oh my gosh just when I thought your amazing site couldn’t get any more amazing! I LOOOOOVE this! I have wanted something like this for my site for so long. You are one lucky lady to have a talented hubby to do that for you 😉
    I have to agree with Heidi. Care to share him? hehe

    • I seriously can’t stop thinking of this amazing feature! It is so perfect. Tell your talented hubby I would seriously pay for this as a feature to add on to my own site.

        thanks Beth! We might think about licensing it if there’s enough interest (so that we can make the cost somewhat attainable). We’ll see tho…

  11. I am so jealous you have a programmer in the house. Oh the damage I could do. Love this! Is your husb shareable?

    wow, on the overview, your food photos just pop!

  19. Wonderful — and I say that both as a foodie and as a designer. Intuitive, clean, beautiful. Excellent work by both of you. I only wish I had something as good on my blog. Any chance you’ll license it at some point? Please pretty please?
