Maybe you all know this, but I just want to remind you to use Google
for recipe searches. I just received a chain e-mail from somebody
asking that I send along a personal recipe to 8 people, move name up
the list, etc. I don't do chains. I replied to all and forwarded my
blog archive page with collected recipes. I also suggested folks use
Google to search.

The easiest way is just type in the name of the dish and recipe. I.e.:
tabbouli recipe

You could also type in several ingredients: cabbage, corn and chiles,
say, plus the word recipe.

Google also has directories that include collections of recipes:

http://directory.google.com/Top/Home...s/Directories/

And their upper level directory of Cooking sites takes you down into a
dizzying number of food and recipe sites. World Cuisines has 2,711
listings.

http://directory.google.com/Top/Home/Cooking/

Now maybe you knew this already. In that case, ignore me! I'm just
suggesting, in case you didn't know.

You may also have more clever ways to search - I am not the ultimate
expert on this. Also, you may like other search engines better - tell
me!

I'm not an HTML expert, but I don't think this page does anything
special. All it does is add "recipe" to the search terms that you
enter, and then sends the request to Google.

One less word to type; one more intermediary between the asker and the
recipe itself.

I suspect many folks here ask for recipes just to initiate a discourse with
people they feel comfortable with. I know I like interacting with many of
the regulars. Also, there are many websites that repeat the same 2 or 3
recipes ad nauseum and I'm sure many posters are just looking for something
different here. I agree on the chain letter. They're a pain.
