Not exactly debt help but....

Did anyone watch the Gadget Show on Five?

they showed a website called www.supercook.com which you can list ingredients you've got in your kitchen cupboard/fridge etc.. and will give you the receipes you can make.. handy if you're running low on food and money and have mouths to feed.

I know advice has been given to people to save on shopping but this could help when there's only cobwebs and dust left in the cupboards..

cobweb and dust soup...?

    Just had a quick look - thats a useful site Insomniac. Seems to be simple to work as well.

  • All i got to do now is learn to cook something other than toast and cornflakes!
  • Hee hee. Just put in pasta and red lentils, and it said there was a recipe I could make right now. Fascinated what you could make with dreid pasta and lentils!

    It assumed that the lentils were lentil soup!!!

    Maybe you have to be a bit more specific - it is American after all!

  • All joking aside though, I've been looking for something like this for ages. I think Delia had something similar, but it only asked for your main ingredients, and made assumptions about what else you have in.
