I'm hoping someone can help me with a search.  I'm looking for recipes using fresh figs.  When I search using the term "figs" I get recipes calling for "dried figs" as well.  Is there a way to eliminate the word "dried"? Or another way to go about this? TIA.

Sure thing!  There are two ways to eliminate dried figs from a search result: (1) Search 'figs' in the Search box, then in the Filter By menu (on the right side of the screen), select Ingredient>Fruit>Dried>Figs, then deselect "Dried figs" by clicking on the circled green + so it turns into a circled red x.  (2) Enter into the search box: figs -'dried figs'.  Both searches should eliminate any recipes that have the ingredient 'dried figs' listed in the Ingredients field.

Deborah, sincere thanks - that worked perfectly!  Now can you help me pick a recipe. . . I'm still left w 1300+ to choose from!!!  #toomanycookbooks

Haha, Breadcrumbs, can't help you there! But I'm sure you can narrow down your search results further by adding in some recipe/dish types, ethnicities, other ingredients, etc., to find recipes that match what you'd like to do with those fresh figs... and now you've got me wanting something figgy!
