THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate it.
 
Please send an email to HO about this. The search doesn't work correctly. Perhaps if enough people ask for it to be fixed, they will do something. According to the recipe search page, we should be able to just use the drop-down to select a certain cookbook and hit enter to get all the recipes - because the other search terms are set to "All". The top line is "Find recipe from...." and you can choose Vegetarian Table. Then choose "Recipe Categories" =All. That makes the "Recipe Types" field default to All. Then hit the "Search All" button and I would think all the recipes from that cookbook should be returned. But no - only three show up!Asian Vegetable Alfredo The Pampered Chef® The Vegetarian Table 119

Not sure why the table of contents for each cookbook aren't on pc.com to begin with! Is it a secret?:confused:

Yes, there was a time when all the recipes in each cookbook were LISTED (not links - but just listed). A few years ago, they stopped showing up for the newer cookbooks. I called and said something at that time - but obviously nothing came of it.

I was searching through our recipes on CC by cookbook - so it wasn't on the public site. Don't know why CONSULTANTS can't be provided with the info.

So, yes, I will email again. It would help if others did, too!
