SuperCook.com - Will Tell You What's For Dinner

What’s for dinner? Simple question, but surprisingly, often difficult to answer. If you’re the frugal type or merely lazy and out of ideas, something like SuperCook could be right up your alley. Essentially, SuperCook is a recipe search engine. How it works: you type in the ingredients you have on hand lying around the kitchen into the My Kitchen section—more ingredients are obviously better; SuperCook will then cook something up for you via its digital algorithms and you’ll have a nice little, tasty recipe ready in minutes. Of course, some of the recipes will require you to make a stop at your local grocery store—but the majority work with whatever you have in the cupboards; also SuperCook lists those need to be bought ingredients clearly, so you don’t have to sift through ten or twenty recipes to find the right one. Results can be filtered by starters, entrees, and desserts too.

“Supercook is a new recipe search engine that finds recipes you can make with the ingredients you have at home. To begin, simply start adding ingredients you have. The more ingredients you add, the better the results will be.”

What’s nice about SuperCook is that it actually counts the number of dishes you can make and it tells you what you’ll need right from the start. Other recipe search engines fail to advise you of this. SuperCook has a fresh, uncluttered interface. Common ingredients are auto-filled for you. The site also has a wide range of features besides its search engine—a community, the ability to add notes and send to your cell phone, nutritional info, menus, etc.

Can users import recipes? Does SuperCook actually come up with viable recipes? Does it offer substitutions?
