Recipe Finder – bFeedme

Recipe portals and search engines are amongst the hottest of trends on the web today where the old world meets the new. Sites such as Epicurious, Chow and AllRecipes are just a few examples of where you can surf to to get recipes, cooking tips and menu advice. But which of the major recipe sites offer the most for the end user? In this infographic, we visually analyze which elements are covered by ten of the more well know recipe portals and search engines, rating them accordingly.

The online recipe search market is still expanding and there are new players arriving on the scene constantly, in many cases offering better end user experience and resources than some of the older, more established sites as analyzed in this inforgraphic.
