Introduction
Recipe & Menus Light is a web application that allows the user to search and view Recipe data from an existing database.
With Recipe & Menus Light version 2.0, a number of improvements have been introduced. This Release Note provides an overview of these improvements.
Improved search
Several new filters have been introduced to make the Search functionality more powerful.
Search by Recipe/Ingredient
It is now possible to search for Recipes that contain certain ingredients and sub-Recipes. E.g. a search for ‘chicken’ and ‘mashed potatoes’ will return all recipes containing both.
