Where did you get the recipes from? I used http://openrecip.es as the database for http://openrecipesearch.com, but the results were so bad I had to just turn it into a disgusting content farm, since I couldn't reasonably expect anyone to use it.

#22Infinite refresh in Safari 7.0.3 OS X
I see the same problem on iPhone Safari with iOS 7.1.1. Just keeps refreshing.

#23In my university (Manchester, UK) there's a whole year course in the first year when you are assigned to a group of people and you have to make a website, anything you can come up with. Every 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 cli…
Exactly. I've been pitched this same idea literally hundreds of times over more than a decade, most recently about a month ago.
And yes, it is a great idea, if the implementation were great.

#24I'm actually working on something similar, but we're spending quite a lot of time on the algorithm - it's quite hard to get it perfect.
One note is that your search isn't working for me, it seems to just be rapidly refreshing the page. Latest build of Chrome on Mac OS X Mavericks.

#26Feedback:
- The lack of an option to search only vegetarian recipes makes this pretty much useless for me.
- Adding ingredients has a fairly large delay. I suspect some optimizations could be done there.

#27A version of this which focused on drink ingredients could be a (perhaps more easily manageable) implementation of this idea.

#28It is doing OR search which doesn't make much sense to me.
try to search lime and cilantro http://skipthepizza.com/recipes/cilantro+lime
recipes either have lime or cilantro and there is no guacamole
Re: Show HN: Discover Recipes by Ingredients
#29Could you add an option for recipes which include only these ingredients/expands the search if it doesn't find very many?
Re: Show HN: Discover Recipes by Ingredients
#30Brilliant. I love the idea and I have always wondered why such a thing doesn't exist already.
Now give me an app :)
