Improve Your Curry Recipe… And Your Search

The Internet has pretty much changed the lives of amateur chefs like myself. There are millions of recipes online — more than we could ever hope to find in cookbooks. But, sometimes, this can be too much of a good thing.
In this post I’ll demonstrate how SortFix can lead your search to the right recipe — in this case a tasty curry.

Just the other week, my wife and I had a craving for a decent curry. So we searched on Google for “curry recipe.”As you can see, we got 1.3 million results.
