Due to popular demand, we've created a step-by-step guide for ingredient searching. In this guide we'll show you everything you need to know: How do I search for a recipe that contains a specific ingredient? How do I search for a recipe that contains more than one specific ingredient? How do I remove ingredients from a search? How do I search for ingredients and title words? How do I search for a recipe that contains a specific ingredient? In this example we will search for recipes that contain chicken breasts. To do this, you enter "chicken breasts in the ingredient box and click on search. Here's how: 1. The recipe search box appears at the top of each page on Project Foodie. (Use the first line when you are looking for a recipe by title.) Since you don't have a specific recipe title in mind, leave the first box blank and enter "chicken breasts" in the ingredient line:
2. Click on search: 3. Once the search results load, you'll see a list of recipes containing chicken breasts as an ingredient.
Note: We searched for chicken breasts. If you had searched for chicken, you would have gotten many more recipes—including those that contain chicken thighs, chicken broth and, yes, chicken breasts. For the most accurate results, always enter the most specific name for the ingredient, i.e. chicken breasts rather than chicken, ground beef rather than beef, etc.
How do I search for a recipe that contains more than one specific ingredient? Now let's search for recipes that contain "chicken breasts" and "asparagus". We'll start where we left off before with "chicken breasts" as an ingredient like this:
Now click on 'add another ingredient', and a new box will appear:
This will create a new field for you to enter the next ingredient:
Now enter "asparagus" into the new ingredient field:
Then click search:
Now you'll get recipes that contain both "chicken breasts" and "asparagus". You can add up to 5 search ingredients by continuing to click on "add another ingredient". How do I remove ingredients from a search?Let's say you just did the search with "chicken breasts" and "asparagus", but now you only want to search for recipes using asparagus. You can remove "chicken breasts" from the search just by clicking on the "X":
After clicking on the "X", only asparagus will appear in the ingredient search.
How do I search for ingredients and title words?Let's say you want a recipe for risotto with asparagus. While you could type both words in the recipe title field, you would miss out on any recipes that don't include asparagus in the recipe's name. Typing risotto in the title field and asparagus in the ingredient field will give you more accurate matches. To do this, type risotto in the title field, and asparagus beneath it, in the additional ingredient field:
