Computerise Your Kitchen with Recipe Matcher

Joining a small list of similar concepts is RecipeMatcher. Enter the contents of your kitchen and it will suggest recipes. It can also suggest close matches and generate a list of products you need to buy; it will even generate the required shopping list for you.

I couldn't get the site to work. I tried to sign up several times but never got further than the error message - 'that username is already in use'. From what I can see it looks very Web2.0 and flash based (although Techcrunch has 'some issues') My other main gripe is the obvious American-ness of it - there is no conversion to metric and no mention of English equivalents (half and half for example). Which is fine as it is an American company after all.

There are other services that allow searching by ingredients - Snacksby, AllRecipes, FoodNetwork and Google Recipes. I must ask though - who actually has the time (let alone the inclination) to enter in the contents of each cupboard, the fridge and the freezer? (

I really like using Snacksby. The pantry index was easy to do and I was motivated to do it. My goal is to empty my pantry - so each week I use up something from the pantry and not replace it. This comes from years of buying things for one recipe and having 3/4 (or more) of the specialty item lingering in my pantry. Some I can throw out but most are still usable.

Their tools for adding recipes is greatly improved from its first release and I find entering new recipes into their database handy.
