When eggplant Parmesan soars as an SEO term, things get interesting. What’s driving the surge? In this case, it’s Giulana Rancic, E! News host and vivacious personality, recommending a recipe on her fabfitfun website from Allrecipes.com for Meatless Monday. Her recipe choice? A meatless make-over of the classic Eggplant Parmesan. Delish! Plenty of other dinnertime-related searches happening, too. Searches for good things such as tzatziki, hamburgers, lobster, mahi mahi, enchiladas, and, of course, healthy dinner recipes. Summer fruit inspired today’s sweets: strawberry jam, blackberry cobbler, and cherry pie.

What did home cooks search for and make for dad on his special day? Surprise! Not steak. Instead, dad was indulged with Eggs Benedict, Hollandaise sauce, and twice-baked potatoes. Some lucky dad dudes got lobster, but after that, dessert rule. Dessert recipe searches ranged from pie: cherry, Key Lime, blueberry, and coconut cream pie, to cake: pineapple upside-down cake and German chocolate cake. We bet dad was happy!

Very Best Burgers for Dad

2013-06-14T17:55:00.003-07:00

Dads love burgers! Smoky flavor, tasty grill marks, and meaty mouthfuls bundled into a toasted, buttered bun with tomato, cheese, and pickle slices. Yum! For Father’s Day, treat your favorite dad to his favorite burger or share a new recipe. How do Sour Cream Burgers, Pineapple-Bacon Burgers, or even an All-American Burger Dog sound? (Thank Chef John of Food Wishes for this deliciously different burger, and watch his How-to recipe video!)

Allrecipes.com has 282 tried-and-true burger recipes—many with helpful how-to videos—to inspire you, so fire up the grill! Find the top 20 burgers here, and check these tips to help grill a burger dad will be talking about all summer!

Choose coarsely ground meat for juicier burgers with a pleasing texture

Use ground beef or ground lamb, and mix in ground pork for added flavor

Sprinkle burgers with salt just before grilling; added earlier and it will draw moisture from the meat, meaning you’ll have dry burgers

Mix in olives, capers, chopped tomatoes, diced chiles, crumbled bacon, or minced ham to the meat mixture

Season burgers before grilling with fresh or dried herbs and spices, dehydrated or fresh minced onion and garlic, seasoning mixes for soups or salad dressings

Top burgers with full-flavored cheeses such as Blue cheese, goat cheese, Gorgonzola, Feta, Stilton, Cheddar, or pepperjack—and don't forget the bacon!

Make it easy and use prepared sauces including Barbeque sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, Hoisin sauce, plum sauce, oyster sauce, salsa, or salad dressing

Mix together burger meat and seasonings and form patties, and then refrigerate a few hours before grilling to allow flavors to mingle

Resist flattening burgers with a spatula so you don’t lose flavorful juices, and turn just once so

One last thing to remember when cooking for guests—as shared by Mr. T, the beloved father of Cathy Siroka, publisher/mom of MacaroniKid for the Westport, Conn., community, is this: No matter how hard you try, you won’t please everyone. So grill those burgers and have a wonderful Father’s Day!

Father’s Day is near and we’re betting lots of dads will be enjoying Red Velvet Cake on Sunday. It’s tops for dessert-related SEO terms. Home cooks are also getting into serious entertaining mode, searching for fruit dip, BLT dip, brunch recipes, and Texas caviar. Is a new YouTube video about Chimichurri sauce inspiring interest in this spicy parsley-based herb sauce? But when it comes to food oddities, Allrecipes’ cooks have it nailed. Anyone craving fried Oreos® or 7-Up® biscuits?

Weekly Kitchen Insights – Recipes and Trends from Allrecipes.com

2013-06-14T12:22:00.001-07:00

On various walls throughout Allrecipes’ office we have screens monitoring the site’s top search terms, top recipes of the day and hour, which states have the most active home cooks using the site at that hour, and more. Nine days out of 10, the #1 search term is chicken. This week was no exception. Chicken ruled as the top new recipe, plus conquered every other category. Allrecipes’ home cooks love this versatile, affordable bird.

Here’s the week’s recap:

The #1 new recipe (Hey, it needs a photo! Can you help?) for the week was Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing

Chicken à la Mayo received the largest increase in page views last week

Crisp outside, tender inside: Chicken à la Mayo (Photo by gapch1026)

Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breasts—a tasty chicken-bacon-spinach combo—saw the largest week-over-week increase in prints along with the largest increase in Recipe Box saves

Top Search Terms Last Week
If home cooks weren’t looking for delicious chicken recipes, they were searching for baked pork chop recipes. This term was the week-over-week fastest growing search term driving traffic to Allrecipes.com.

Other fast-moving search terms driving traffic to the site in the past week included Swiss chard recipes, Portobello mushroom recipes, squash casserole recipe, and beef stroganoff recipe.

Internal search terms that sizzled week-over-week mirror the external group with one summertime exception: homemade ice cream. For the record, the others include Swiss chard recipes, Portobello mushroom recipes, squash casserole recipe, and beef stroganoff recipe.

Video Insights
I'm excited about this week’s top new video! It’s all about fresh peaches. Since they can’t all be made into cobblers, crisps, and pies, how about peach jam? Allrecipes’ crack video team just released a new video to showing how to make delicious peach jam and it’s a winner its first week out! How to Make Peach Preserves had the most video page views live per day last week. Wish I’d been there during filming to lick the spoon. Delish!

Two other videos also tallied high marks last week with home cooks:

Key West Chicken, marinated with lime and honey, was the top performer for overall video page views and page views referred directly from a search engine

How To Scramble Eggs was the top performing video in page views, excluding all featured content (this metric excludes video detail page views generated by newsletter features, primary nav. features, and/or video homepage features). I’m definitely watching this video. I bet I can learn some tricks, and what better satisfying dinner idea when I don’t feel much like cooking after work?

Here’s to another week of delicious meals at your house!

Who’s watching Masterchef? Turns out a lot of home cooks watch the Fox TV show with Chef Gordon Ramsey. Last night they were, and then they hopped over to Allrecipes to find the featured recipe, Eggs Benedict. Searches for the classic brunch recipe soared 1,000%+ as home cooks looked for a tried-and-true recipe. Add its companion, Hollandaise Sauce, and a delicious dish was ensured. With the weekend—and Father’s Day—coming fast, searches for desserts picked up steam in the past 24 hours. A lot of dads will be thrilled at the sight of cherry pie, German chocolate cake, or ice cream cake.

Did anyone catch that it’s zucchini season? Searches for zucchini-related recipes are soaring, up 84% over yesterday. Why? For gardeners, it’s not yet zucchini harvesting season, so that's not the reason. Credit Meatless Monday and the year-round availability of this likeable, versatile, and budget-friendly squash. Meatless Monday is also inspiring searches for squash casserole, jalapeño poppers, and broccoli cheese soup, along with fennel, jalapeño poppers, and basil recipes. Ultra-easy weeknight desserts such as summertime peach cobbler and Dump Cake create a sweet finale.

Cobbler or crisp? Summer’s bounty of fruit means these two desserts are appearing on dinner tables regularly. For the record, a cobbler is a deep dish fruit ‘casserole’ topped with biscuit dough, which either completely covers the fruit or is dropped in biscuit-sized handfuls. A crisp is a similar baked fruit dessert, but covered with a crunchy topping that may include butter, nuts, oatmeal, flour, brown sugar and spices. As Allrecipes’ home cooks know, both are delicious made with fresh summer fruit such as cherries, peaches, berries, or apples. For dinner inspiration, Fettuccine Alfredo and beef stroganoff continue their star runs from last week, while fennel, Yorkshire pudding, and crab dip add spice to today’s top SEO terms list.

Because our SEO Appétit posts cover the past 24 hours, we get to see what the final menu of the day was for Memorial Day. The list is fairly unique, including items that everyone waited to the last minute to look up - perhaps recipes where cooks assume they have all the needed ingredients on-hand, or cooking techniques that just need to be confirmed day of...like grilling corn on the cob. We can assume most people bought corn, but waited until the day of cooking it to figure out how to do it. Either way, it's a tasty list overall!
