The site 101 Cookbooks is terrific. First, the recipes are consistently good, albeit of the healthy kind. Next, the photos - oh, the photos are exquisite, as you can see in the picture of buttermilk summer squash soup here.
I’m reminded of one of the things our research has told us about how people use the web for recipes. Specifically, many people print online recipes, and the current tools for doing this leave lots to be desired.
Primo Recipes takes a different approach. When you find a recipe you like on Primo Recipes, simple click on the “Print” icon in our toolbar (pictured here).
Primo Recipes reformats the recipe for you in any easy, consistent way - we even leave you room for notes and comments. This way, all of your recipe printouts will look consistent. If you put them in a binder, they’ll all make sense together. It’s a pretty simple idea, but it makes lots of sense. Give it a try.

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.

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!
