Find Recipes with Recipe Puppy
I often find myself at the fridge door in a cool question mark fog. Today, I've got half-a-can of coconut milk, some nice cocoa, a bushel basket of food allergies, and I want to make something tasty. Chef Google has too much to tell me.
Happily I found Recipe Puppy, a meta-search engine. You enter the ingredients you have on hand. RP turns your desires into requests to scores of cooking and recipe sites, and then repackages the answers for your perusal. RP also suggests other ingredients, which you can mark as required, optional, or exclude. I got a bunch of chocolate pudding recipes, and I could exclude milk dairy and wheat flour with two clicks, instead of scanning the ingredients lists of each recipe. It seems like RecipePuppy* is Australian Kris Brower's one-person pet project, and it's a great idea.
Being lazy, I went with Vegan Hot Chocolate.
*I think the name is a hat-tip to the first commercial metasearch engine, Dogpile.
