Yummly uses patent-pending technology, and a hand-curated knowledge graph to offer a semantic web search engine for food, cooking and recipes. Yummly allows users to search by ingredient, diet, allergy, nutrition, price, cuisine, time, taste, meal courses and sources; and ‘learns’ about users based on their likes and dislikes. Yummly uses this information to categorize food for search and make recommendations.

In 2014, Yummly had 15 million active users in the US and has launched international websites in the UK, Germany and The Netherlands.
