  • Does anyone know of any websites where I can list the ingrediants I have and it will suggest something I can do with them?

    I've spent the last 2 hours trawling through cook books and seem to be missing one or two ingrediants from every recipe I find, getting frustrated now!! :mad:

    Hi sparklylime,

    Try these too:

    recipefinder

    Astray recipes

    hungry monster

    bbc recipe search

    uktv recipe search


    There's an earlier thread with more links that should help so I'll add your thread to that one to keep the websites together.

    I have to share this with you all. If like me you have loads of old tins and all manner of stuff lurking in your kitchen cupboard or freezer with no clue as to why you have them then i have the website for you. Its called Recipe Puppy. (sorry can't post links yet). In the search you enter in a couple of your random ingredients and its gives you a list of recipes which uses them. Example you enter tuna, onion, peas, and it will give you a recipe for a tuna casserole.

    We recently cleared out our cupboard using this and in the two weeks we did it spent a grand total of £25 on other ingredients. £25 for two people for two weeks food. Not bad at all.

    Hope Recipe Puppy works for you too.

    Hi metalgal,

    Thanks, I hadn't heard of that website before. I'll add it to the recipe website using own ingredients thread later to keep it with the other websites.

    Hello there,

    hope this is too much of a lame question:

    someone (I think here) told me of a web site for recipes by putting in stuff you have in your cupboard if you dont know what to make for dinner, and it tells you reciepes using what youve got so minimising needing to go shopping and waste of stuff that gets forgotten about.

    Anyone tell me what this was as I can't find it!


    thanks!

    It is at the bottom of one of the threads, but I can't remember so:-
