Wasn’t it just the other day that I posted a note saying that we had more than 400,000 recipes in our database? I should have waited a little while, as our technology team surged to bring in more, more, more!
We’re currently at more than 500,000 recipes (more than half a million) in our database, all from great recipe sites like Epicurious, Big Oven, and allrecipes.com, all displayed to you in order of best first. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Primo Recipes has recently added several more great websites - and tens of thousands of new recipes, reviews, ratings, and pictures - to our database. In addition to the sites we launched with (Epicurious, AllRecipes.com, Bigoven.com, and Foodnetwork.com), we’ve now added four more sites: RecipeZaar, Cooking.com, Myrecipes.com, and Bettycrocker.com.
Just look at this Chicken Satay results page - the top five recipes are from four different websites! We think there’s huge value in bringing all of this data together - do you? Please let us know.

Just a short post to let you know that Primo Recipes is well on its way to becoming the biggest, best source of recipes online. Only a few short weeks after the release of our product, which displays great recipes from the best recipe sites on the web, Primo Recipes has nearly 400 thousand recipes in our database - and we’re constantly growing! This allows us to return terrific results for most any recipe search you can imagine - even very hard to find dishes like lobster rolls, dover sole, and shrimp spring rolls.
Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

I’m hooked on the recipe website TasteSpotting, a terrific way to browse great recipes from around the web, using photos as your guide. TasteSpotting’s homepage is a series of images curated by the community, and each image links to the recipe behind it. Many of the recipes are from blogs. Here’s a screenshot:
Unlike Primo Recipes, which uses technology to get you to the best recipes fast, TasteSpotting is all about discovery. Take a look when you get a chance and let us know what you think.

In the process of researching user needs related to recipe products on the web, several things became clear:
- It’s way too hard to find great recipes
- It’s way too hard to print recipes in nice, useful ways.
It turns out that most of the people we speak with keep their recipe printouts in a binder - often a haphazard collection of scraps of paper, with notes all over the place, improperly organized and nearly impossible to find in a pinch. What a mess!
Primo Recipes aims to rectify the situation by providing an easy way for you to print recipes from any of the sites we crawl. Each time you click on a link from our search results page, the recipe displays within our frame. It looks like this:
Simply click the “print” button for a print preview, and click “print” again (on ther recipe itself) for a printout. This alows you to easily print out recipes that look the same no matter what site you print them from. Easy. Organized. Efficient. What more could you want? Please let us know!

Welcome, friends! I’m excited to introduce you to Primo Recipes, a new way to find recipes on the web. Every time you conduct a search on Primo Recipes, we search many of the web’s best recipe sites - including Allrecipes, Epicurious, RecipeZaar, Food Network, and Big Oven - to return all of their best results in one place.
For example, to search for “Fish and Chips,” simply type the words “Fish and Chips” into the search box. Here’s what Primo Recipes displays:
As you can see, Primo Recipes top 5 results include 4 of the sources mentioned above. Without Primo Recipes, you’d have to visit each of those sites to find their top results. Now, you can see them all, ranked in order, in a single place.
Please give Primo Recipes a try and let us know what you think. We’re excited to hear from you!
