Using Perplexity.com to Find Recipes on YouTube

Finding the perfect recipe on YouTube can be a challenge, especially when recipe names are confusing or vary across different cultures and cuisines. Waivio now supports recipes, allowing website owners on Social.Gifts to build comprehensive recipe collections. The Recipe object in Waivio serves as a hub to aggregate social posts that explain how to cook a particular dish. The most upvoted post or one pinned by the website owner is featured as the Top Recipe, enriching the recipe page with valuable content.

However, for a recipe page to serve its purpose effectively, it needs at least one post linked to it. While the recipe object contains a description and a list of commonly used ingredients, it doesn't include the actual cooking instructions. This is where YouTube comes in handy. Many creators on YouTube offer detailed recipe videos and often endorse public resharing of their work with proper credits. But how do you find the right videos when recipe names aren't enough?

The Solution: Using Perplexity.com with Ingredient Lists

One effective way to find YouTube recipes is by using Perplexity.com, a powerful search engine that understands natural language queries. Instead of searching by recipe names, you can use a list of ingredients as your search query to find the most relevant YouTube videos.

• You'll find a list of commonly used ingredients for the dish.
