It's my mother's fault why I can be picky with food. Every since I was a young kid, she got me use to eating gourmet food. She was the first in our block to make sushi. She was big on making her biscotti and her own pasta. My mother loved to try recipes different from our culture thanks to her long standing subscription to Gourmet magazine.
She is the "OG" (Original Gourmet) in my family.
I've carried that same enthusiasm for food in my adulthood. When I have time I'm always game for trying some new and exciting recipes. When I vacationed in Thailand, I didn't ride any elephants, or visit the John Thompson house; No I opted for cooking class on the island of Koh Samui.
Now with Google's launch of Google's Customized Search Engine, I can make
my own search engine for recipes. Just the recipes, baby! None of that miscellaneous stuff that you sometimes get with a get from a random Google search.
how is that different from a Google Search?
What if I wanted to search for recipes that I had beef and corn
Here's a google result
Here's a result from my recipe customized search engine

What if I was only interested on recipes that have beef and corn that was chinese or perhaps kosher?
The Customized search engine lets me create search labels to further refinement my search for beef and corn recipes that are either Chinese or Kosher

Another nice feature of the customized search engine is the ability to colloborate with other people interested in the same subject
