I'm working on a small recipe site and I have almost solved everything but I have two things that I want to for fill.

1. I want a user to be able to select ingredients and save to their profile like "their ingredients".

2. From the users ingredients or maybe a tag cloud of ingredients, I want to link to a page that presents the recipes including the ingredient in choice.

What is the best way to solve this? I tried using views and CCK but that wasn't that easy.
Please help me.

I would suggest adding a taxonomy over the top. I don't know if there are modules for taxonomy tag clouds, but that's more likely to be doable. The main reason for using a taxonomy as well as recipe's ingredients is that recipe stores every ingredient, but you probably just want the main ingredients of each recipe. Otherwise things like flour and salt that are widely used, but rarely the main feature would be more prominent than things like strawberries, which I would guess isn't really what you want.

Yeah ok, thanks for the replay.

I see your point, but this is a little specific recipe site so in my case I want to display all recipes even on salt and pepper ;).

I want to be able to search recipes that contains specific ingredients.

The best would be if a user had a list of ingredients and then show the recipes for the user that he/she could cook together with that ingredients.

Title: User ingredients and Related recipes » User ingredients and Related recipes -- have you found anything?

Daniel -- have you found what you were looking for? I'm looking for similar schema/taxonomy but so far haven't found much (well found this thread, but not the real data). Any pointers would really help.

Thanks
Nick
