Hi folks,

Some time ago I found a recipe site which would let you enter
potential ‘ingredients’ into a search list (like what you may have on
hand in the pantry and refrigerator) and it would output a list of
recipes which could be made from what was avaliable.

I thought that capability was on a site somewhere… but darn if I can
find it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction??

Many thanks…

I know the Kraft Foods site does that, and if one sitre doies it there are
probably others as well.

You don't need to limit yourself to one recipe site. Just put
[recipe: x y z] into google, where x, y, z are your ingredients and it
will return lots of sites to look at. If you want to be sure the
listings include a particular ingredient, put a plus sign in front of
it. -aem

The easiest way is to list the ingredients you have and Google the list.
More often than not you'll fins several recipes or dishes.

As example how about anchovies and peas. Unlikely? Right.

Try to Google them.

I didn't think google does boolian searches... well, it doesn't
respond to "not".

Google doesn't use AND and NOT for Boolean searches, it uses the plus
sign and the minus sign. Using them is the second most useful way to
narrow searches usefully. Most useful, imho, is using quotation marks
to delimit a phrase or term instead of each individual word in the
phrase. For example:

[ Olympics village food nutrition ] = 91,700 hits
[ "Olympics village" food nutrition ] = 51 hits
[ "Olympics vllage" -food +nutrition = 10 hits

The plus and minus sign operators help a lot when doing what the OP
was asking about. -aem

LOL! This is a keeper. I tried it out and one of my choices is this:

no food in the house."

Shocking.... the few among us "claim" to be foodies...and we don't
know what to cook with a half box of Cherios, anchovie paste, peanut
butter and a rice cake? What kind of "foodie" are you?

I recall the good old days of Damsel....and where is she?

of hospitals.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, so I'll pass on trying to answer.

Actually, peanut butter on a rice cake with some anchovy doesn't sound
bad. I'd add shredded coconut and cilantro if I had any to utilize in
that scenario :>

Peanut butter and rice cake, OK. Sorry, sweetie... the rest is not on
my "to do" list (ever). LOL!

those are good tips, but you can always go to the 'advanced' search page:

<http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en>

....where you can do these sorts of things without having to remember the
syntax for them.
