Data Sources

Our curated recipe search uses the Google Search API to look only within a hand-picked list of trusted chefs, food writers, and reputable recipe sites.
Some of these sources are then weighted, to allow smaller sites to show earlier in the results.
By limiting the search to these sources, you get focused results without the clutter of the wider web.
Think we are missing a great site? Let us know.
