Supercook is a website I’ve been waiting for all my life. The idea is great although not new to any of us who have had to cook for ourselves and the execution is fantastic. Most of us know the scenario, you come home, you’ve not had time to go out and do any shopping so you end up staring miserably into the fridge at a solemn potato, something that looks a bit like an obergene and a half eaten packet of noodles, wondering what the hell you are going to do with that….

Well now it’s time for Supercook  to come to the rescue! Browse to the site, input the ingredients you have in your kitchen and presto, supercook provides you with a recipe! It searches its database and matches what you have with what’s possible, it will also suggest things you could make were you to somehow aquire additional ingredients, providing you with a recipe that might just be tempting enough to get you off that sofa and round to the corner shop. Being able to sort your results into courses and sweets is also a useful feature and I think it even includes spices (I for one have no idea what to do with coriander).

Best of all is that you don’t have to register to have Supercook help you out, but if you do take the time to create an account you can choose for it to remember what you’ve got in stock for the next time you have an emergency.  Definitely worth going to have a look at.
