You may use the Categories into which you file a recipe to later search for that recipe or similar ones. The easiest way to search by Categories is to use the tabs at the top of the Recipe Browser. However, if you want to get fancier (say you want to see a list of French Appetizers good in Summer) you have additional options.
In the Quick Recipe Finder, you can specify that you want to see recipes of a certain Nationality or Course or with particular Main Ingredients, and in the Full Recipe Finder you can also specify recipes by their Cooking Method and Season. The process is simple:
• Using the appropriate window, select the Categories you’d like to see. You can select a single Category of each type from the pop-up menu that comes up when you click the nearby Dictionary Button; if you hold down the Shift key while making a selection, a comma-separated list of terms accumulates in the text box. (Of course, you can also just type your selection(s) into the text box.) Click OK when you’re satisfied.
• In the Recipe Browser Window or any Recipe File Window, check off List Only Matches to reduce the list of recipes you see to those which match the Ratings you provided.
Remember: Every Category you specify limits the selection: specifying both Greek and Turkish Nationalities, for example, means that you’ll get only recipes which are filed under both Categories. Similarly, if you specify Greek as the Nationality and salad as the Course, then only Greek salads will appear.
