Website that gives you recipes based on what's in your cupboard?

Question

Hi there,
Two people have told me recently that there is a website on the internet where you type in the contents of your kitchen cupboard, and it provides you with meal suggestions and recipes based on what you have.
Does anyone know what it is? Apparently it was featured on GMTV.
Thanks,
Rosie

Answer 1

Go to allrecipes.com and do an ingredient search. You can put in the ingredients you want to use and the ingredients you don't want to use.

They also allow you to rate the recipes and see other reviews.

Fantastic in a pot roast/slow cooker recipe. There used to be a very popular and quite tasty recipe for a beef pot roast that was merely a roast of beef, a can of mushroom soup, and a package of dried onion soup with some water added to the whole works. It cooked down to a wonderful dark gravy. I think I might find that a bit salty now with the dried onion soup mix, but with the mushroom alone it wouldn't be, and canned onion soup might be very nice in it as would any other cream soup except maybe tomato. You could do a similar oven stewed chicken with the cream of chicken soup. And of course, there's nothing wrong with serving them as.....just soup. Add a hint of tarragon(and only a hint) to a cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup and it goes several levels above canned soup. Other seasonings could do the same. Our family used to use "soup and sandwich" lunches and dinners as a way of using up odds and ends from the fridge. Set them all out on the table, serve a bowl of soup to everyone, and let them make their own sandwiches and choose their own odds and ends.

I know of a few, but not the one you're talking about...since I don't know what GMTV is.

But....kraftfoods.com...under the "Dinner" section has a tool where you can put in ingrediants that you have and it generates a recipe list.

Recipezaar.com Doesn not have a generated list like that...but you can do a general search for a main ingrediant that you have....then hit the catagories button....and you can narrow the field by other choices (such as "simple" or "inexpensive")...usually that way I find recipes that match what I have.

I'm not sure if this is the same site you heard about, but I came across it on Stumbleupon. It's called "Cooking By Numbers." It's a nice idea, though as some Stumbleupon people said, the site is a little buggy. It could just use a more professional look, but I tried it and it gave me some good ideas. Good luck.
