Supercook

Published August 26, 2017

It is very common for many of you to act grumpy at mealtimes when your favourite food is not served. While you may ask your mum to cook something else, her answer could be a straight ‘no’ or that there aren’t enough ingredients in the house. This is where Supercook.com — a site with loads of recipes according to the ingredients you have, comes to you and your mum’s rescue.

Supercook is a recipe search engine that finds recipes you can make with the ingredients of your choice. And according to the site, it has access to over 600,000 recipes, so no matter what ingredients you have, it is likely that Supercook gives a recipe you may enjoy.

Start by either listing your ingredients one by one, or you can use the category view given at the left panel. In the category view, simply check off the ingredients you have in each category. The more ingredients you add to Supercook, the better the recipes will be!

You can choose from the categories such as grains, dietary, meat, vegetables, oils, seafood, seasoning, condiments, nuts, deserts and snacks, beverages, soup, legumes, sauces or dairy alternatives. A huge collection of recipes appear on the centre of the page, all with videos and easy how-to-cook steps.

Signing up for an account gives you the freedom to save your ingredients, dietary restrictions, favourite recipes and entire categories of food.

In addition, you can add ‘suggested ingredients’ by choosing from the bottom of the screen which are the most useful ingredients the site thinks you should purchase. By analysing your ingredients, exclusions and filters, the site then figures out which ingredients would provide you with the best value.

In short, Supercook is a practical way to save money by taking full advantage of ingredients you already have, and naturally buy fewer groceries. Won’t this be a great help for mum when you introduce her to this website and planning family menus will be a breeze.
