#12Firefox 29.0.1: Can't type into the text field to put in an ingredient. EDIT: Typing is there, can't see the text. (White on white?)

#13I understand that you can take ingredients replacements in account (as jalapeno, still keeping paprika recipes) but here it doesn't make sense anymore.

#17Seems like your search uses OR, not AND. So adding more ingredients broadens the search rather than narrowing it. That seems kind of useless... adding just a handful of ingredients would end up matching basically all recipes.
Edit: And if you click the star a second time it tags it as "this recipe must not include this ingredient", which would be helpful for people with allergies (or picky eaters).

#19Every year, someone makes a web site for searching recipes by ingredients :)
To be more on topic, I like the idea but I think implementation (i.e. manual work required) is a bit too... demanding, involved? We are in the world of 1 click. I would like an app which would allow easy input (scan bar codes?) combined with machine learning to discover new meals (taste, effort required). Google Now for food?

#20Seems like your search uses OR, not AND. So adding more ingredients broadens the search rather than narrowing it. That seems kind of useless... adding just a handful of ingredients would end up matching basically all recipes.
If you click the star next to the ingredient name, it tags that ingredient as "recipe must include this ingredient", so you can click all of the stars to do an AND. Edit: And if you click the star a second time it tags it as "this recipe must not include this ingredient", which would be helpful for people with allergies (or picky eaters).
And this is a prime example why icons without labels (in this app, there are no tooltips either which is even worse) are useless.
Star as in... favourite ingredient? save ingredient to some list? wut...?
