I just added Thomas Keller's Under Pressure as an indexed book and was surprised that I had to add another 21 new ingredients, even with 5,936 already in our database.  How many of you have these in your store-cupboard (or even in your grocery store)?

I've just imported our 700th indexed book - The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook by Patricia Tanumihardja.  This is a fascinating book - though I was surprised that I had to add 30 new ingredients to our list for this book.  You would think that with more than 5,800 ingredients now in our list that there would be few new ones but… read more

Well I know I am biased but I am really getting pleasure out of using EYB. The last two nights I have cooked completely new dinners as a result of using Recipe searches. Last night I did a really quick Salmon and Couscous recipe from Jamie's Dinners (searched on salmon as ingredient and rice, grains & polenta as ingredient type)… read more
