Allrecipes for Windows 8 is a small software application designed specifically for Windows 8 users in order to help them browse throughout an impressive collection of recipes. It provides a seamless navigation mode and can be used even on touch-capable devices.

The clean feature lineup makes it easier even for less experienced users to discover and tweak the program’s functions. Plus, there’s support for suggestive images for each dish.

Allrecipes for Windows 8 brings to the table a smart feature for helping you decide what to cook. You may either look at a bunch of ingredients (e.g. Bacon, Pasta, Sugar, Beef, Eggs, Rice, Ham) or filter your search results by the ingredients that you have.

You choose between several preset ingredients or manually add a new one to the list, and exclude specific items from your search results.

The “Ideas” is the place where you can check out a large collection of recipes and filter the results by various criteria, such as Appetizer, Beverage, Bread, Main Dish, Dessert, Vegetarian, and International.

Plus, you can check out detailed information about each recipe, such as directions, ingredients, photos, nutrition facts (e.g. total fat, cholesterol, protein), preparation and cooking time, and other users’ reviews about the current dish.

What’s more, the tool lets you check out the recipe on the Internet via your web browser, perform search operations, and save your favorite recipes.
