You know the scenario so well; open the fridge and ransack the cupboards but decide "Theres nothing to eat". Well the solution to this recurring problem has arrived with the website Supercook.

Type in what items you've got lying around the kitchen and Supercook will come up with a list of recipes for you. It lists entrees, starters and desserts too if you feel like skipping dinner. In addition it will suggest recipes if you type in just one ingredient and want inspiration.

SuperCook shows you what ingredients you're missing to make a certain dish, a helpful way to write your shopping list.

It's a free service and you don't have to sign up for an account either. If you do choose to sign up though, it will track what you enter for future recipes.
