OS X Dashboard Widgets For the Home Cook

I've rounded up a collection of useful widgets for the home cook that uses a Mac. From measurement conversions to reminders, you're sure to find these useful. Best of all, they are free!

• Epicurious Widget - enables you to search for recipes by certain search parameters such as low-fat, wine pairings, and kid-friendly.

• Tea Timer - never forget your tea, pizza, toast, etc. while you're at the computer! This widget allows you to set several timers reminding you to get your food or drink.

• Chai - find information on almost any wine vintage. Search by vintage, grape varietal, region of origin, and bottle label!

• Nutrient Source - find out the vitamin and mineral content of foods so you can ensure you are receiving a balanced diet.

• Unit Converter - How many teaspoons are in a cup? How many grams in an ounce? This widget knows.

Do you have any favorite cooking or food-related widgets?

So I just tried out the epicurious widget and it seems to work fine for searching, but when I click the see all results link on the widget it goes to the general search page on Epicurious, not to the results of my search. Very disappointing, unless I'm doing something wrong?

Has anyone tried the tea widget. Have you found how to customize it?
