NEW FEATURE: 'No Recipes' books

July 27, 2022·Jane

We have had the Indexing status 'No Recipes' for some time but until now you could not use that as a filter. You now can! 'No Recipes' is one of the selections under the Only Show filters on the right (or under the Menu on a phone) when you are in Library Books or My Bookshelf Books.

'No Recipes' books are no longer counted as Unindexed books in your Bookshelf stats. If you own any books that should have the 'No Recipes' status added, please email us and let us know. Please include the URL for that EYB book in your email.

Actually, there are about 6 or 7 recipes in "What to Eat with What you Drink" by the same authors as the Flavor Bible. I've tagged them, and would be happy to index them. How would I go about that?

Hibeez:

You can request to index - I will remove the "No recipe" tag. Click on the book title - click "Request Index" then click "I want to index this book myself". I'll let our member indexer mgr. know you will be doing that.

I’m always excited about new features. They improve the site even if it’s not a feature I use every day.

What's the difference between unindexed and 'no recipes'?

JennyJuly 28, 2022

No recipes means the book contains no recipes. Unindexed means that the book's recipes haven't been indexed. (Perhaps the book isn't on enough bookshelves yet or we have it on the list to be indexed.) Indexing now means EYB or a member is in the process of indexing.

I would love if, in addition to a filter the filter for no-recipe books, there could be one for food fiction. I’m always happy to read a great story around food and cooking, and even happier to find new novels I haven’t read. Example: School of Essential Ingredients by Erika Bauermeister, or Like Water for Chocolate.

There is a filter, Novels with recipes, that you may find useful. It is located under Food writing, styling & photography in the Writing & reference section of filters. Filters are located on the right or under the Filter menu on a phone. This is the result for that filter applied to the Library. If any member feels the tag should be added to other titles, please let us know. I'm not sure about adding novels to the Library that just have some food content but no recipes, though interested to hear other members' views.
