So far the best way I've found to search for recipes is to search in a foreign language. Translate what you're looking for, then search and translate back to English. There are still recipe blogs, but 5 instead of 5,000, and usually an authentic dish, not what Michelle The Stir Fry Queen From Michigan thinks constitutes a "Moroccan" dish because it has cinnamon and tomatoes.

Would love to see someone put together a search engine that excludes recipe blogs and penalizes SEO.
