Recipe App: How to search for a recipe

  • Updated

You can find your next meal in seconds using the Recipe App in Shift Browser. This Shift-built app lives in your setup and offers a curated library of dishes categorized by diet, cuisine, and meal type. Use the built-in search bar and filters to narrow down your choices without leaving your Space.

 

How to search for recipes in Shift Browser

The Recipe App is a Shift-built app that integrates directly into your setup. To find a dish, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Explore Recipes option on the left side of the app.

  2. Browse by Meal Type: Select a category like Breakfast or Finger Food to see specific options.

  3. Browse by Diet: Choose recipes that fit your needs, such as Gluten Free or Vegan.

  4. Browse by Cuisine: Click a regional category to explore flavors like Cajun or Irish.

  5. Use the Search Bar: Type a specific dish or ingredient. The search bar looks through the entire Recipe Library regardless of which tab you're currently viewing.

  6. Apply the Intolerance Filter: Use this to exclude recipes with ingredients you want to avoid.

Tips for finding the best recipes

Our specialized app focuses on a curated library of high-quality recipe instructions. If you're looking for a very niche dish that doesn't appear in the app, we recommend searching the web directly using the Shift Browser Omnibox (search bar).

Refine your search results

Once you have a list of recipes, you can organize them to fit your schedule. Use the Sort by dropdown menu to arrange results by:

  • Scope or Popularity

  • Duration (shortest or longest)

  • Healthiness

By default, Shift sorts your results by score to show you the most relevant options first.

Navigating the app

If you want to return to a previous search or category, use the navigation arrows located within the app interface. This keeps your cooking flow smooth and helps you jump between different meal ideas quickly.
