Google RecipesGoogle announced yesterday a new Google search view for the left hand panel named Recipe View.

This view lets you quickly search for recipes of all kinds with special filters that help you narrow your search. You can filter by food type such as appetizer, entree, dessert, etc or preparation time, cook time, nutrition data and/or ingredients.

Here is a screen shot showing some of those filters on the left hand Google bar:
