Tips for Searching
- Search criteria
Our search provides you with a number of search criteria, namely
- NoMU product
- ingredient(s)
- courses
- vegetarian
- healthier option
You can search for criteria in conjunction with one another, or independently. For example - if you only want to search for ingredients, you only have to type your ingredients into the ingredients box, and you don't have to select anything from the NoMU products dropdowns, courses dropdown nor do you have to check the boxes for vegetarian and healthier option.
- Searching for recipes using a NoMU product
If you'd like to search by NoMU product, first select the product category from the first dropdown menu labelled "NoMU Products" (eg Rubs) Once you've selected this, the second dropdown menu labelled "all" will automatically contain all the products within that category. For example, if you selected "Rubs" in the first dropdown menu, the second dropdown menu will list all the different types of rubs. (eg African Rub, Barbeque Rub, etc) Select the product you'd like to search on and then you can either hit the beige Search button (or your 'return' key), or fill in the rest of the search criteria below.
- Searching by ingredient
Type in up to three ingredients or a recipe name into the search text box and then hit the beige Search button (or your 'return' key). The less ingredients you type in, the more optimal your results. There is no need to separate search terms with commas or semicolons, although the results will not be adversely affected if you do.
- Healthier option and vegetarian
Select the 'Healthier option' or 'Vegetarian' options by clicking on the box to the left of the term.
- More tips...
The greater the number of criteria you choose, the fewer the recipes you will receive.
For best results, choose your keywords wisely, keeping in mind...
Be specific and try the obvious or unusual first. If you're looking for a recipe with 'parmesan' write in 'parmesan' rather than just 'cheese'.
When searching for ingredients that are two words use “ ” to link the words together. Eg "cherry tomatoes" or "wild rice".
Check your spelling if you don't get any results back. To narrow your search, you can use the 'Search within results' box on the right of the Search Results page
Searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for "Sticky Pork Ribs", "sticky pork ribs", and "sTICKY pORK rIBS" will all return the same results.
