Now, we understand that not everyone works on search engines so you don’t have to be Archimedes. For those of you who lean closer to Martha Stewart, here’s how Bing can help you bake a perfect circular treat.
Just search for your favorite flavor of pie, let’s say “rhubarb pie”, and get easy access to recipes, reviews, ingredients and directions from some of the leading cooking sites like Food network, All Recipes, and others right in the search results.
Bing will also show images of pies and related photos from Facebook friends so you can get their recipe, or compare and make sure that Rhubarb pie looks just right. After all, in order to make the perfect pie what better place to start than Pi?
