Google Image search now has a scrumptious new feature that allows you to search for recipes and and then choose the best recipe to follow based on pictures of the finished dish. Obviously, you’ve been able to search for recipes using Google for a while now but this new feature offers the results in a much more enticing manner.

A standard Google search for a recipe often resulted in a single top recipe taking up all of your screen with some basic recipe information also visible. Now though, if you click over to image search you’ll be faced with wall to wall foodie goodness.

If a recipe is associated with the image there’ll be a new recipe tag in the bottom left-hand corner of the thumbnail. Clicking this will give you a similar view to that given to the top recipe of a standard search. If you decide this is the one for you, you simply click visit page and you’re good to go.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have Watch Videonoticed that not all images come associated with recipes but that some of the recipes are in fact videos. If there is a video of the recipe on YouTube then you’ll be able to go straight to it via the Google Image Search function. All you have to do is click Watch and you’re away.

This new feature will make it easier to go through different recipes until you get the one you want. Rather than just getting the basic info on the top recipe you’ll be able to click on the images you think look best, get some basic info about the recipe and if you like it head the site were the recipe is hosted. This should make it easier for you to find the recipe you want and may even save you a little time.

For now the new feature is only available on mobile but we’re hoping it’ll come to desktop search soon. Watch this space.
