How it works

Add the ingredients in your kitchen to your pantry list. Every recipe on the site is then scored by how many of its ingredients you already have, and results are sorted by closest match.

The site is free, with no account requirement. Your pantry list is stored in your browser, not on our servers.

Why search by ingredient

Searching by ingredient rather than by dish is useful when you want to use up what you have, or when you would rather not go shopping. It is also a practical way to reduce food waste.

Where the recipes come from

Most recipes come from the Wikibooks Cookbook, which is written by volunteers and published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence. These recipes are published here in full. Each page links to the Wikibooks original and names the licence. Where a recipe has been adapted, the page says so.

CC BY-SA 4.0 requires anything reusing the content to carry the same licence, so recipe content on this site is also available under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons. Each one is credited to its photographer and shows its own licence.

Some recipes come from TheMealDB and Spoonacular. For these the site shows the title, the ingredient list and the pantry match, and links to the original publisher for the method.
