The semantic search engine Yummly said it raised $6 million in a Series A round of venture captial financing led by Physic Ventures. Initial investors include Intel Capital, Harrison Metal Capital, and First Round Capital, which sunk $1.85 million in seed funding in 2010. The company plans to build on its core search engine to support the more than 600,000 recipes from 15 sites it aggregates, ranging from Food Network to AllRecipes. The product road map includes personalization features that will make Yummly more of a cooking portal than a search engine, according to Kevin Fitchard.
