It would be more useful to exclude ingredients, rather than choosing which ones to include. Ideally I'd like to immediately see the results with a list of ingredients in a sidebar. I'd then eliminate ingredients I don't have or can't eat (e.g. gluten flour, chocolate, milk), which would filter the recipe list.
Thanks for clearing that up. FWIW, its a lot clearer on the root page. I hadn't realized your link was actually to a subpage until I saw another comment here on HN.
I would still like to see a more intuitive filtering interface, but I like the way it works from the home page a lot better.
