Food Economy 101
I’m a caregiver/chef/chauffeur/maid/+many-other-hats-to-wear in a household that has to rely heavily on donations from our local food bank. Which, I will add, am eternally grateful for. But it does present it’s challenges. Like the day I was faced with the age-old question: “What-the-H*** am I going to do with 40lbs of tomatoes (or squash… or rutabagas… or raisins… or…you get the idea)???” And within seconds this app had 1,249 answers for me! Plus, because the app keeps track of all the bits and pieces stashed in your cupboards from long forgotten culinary adventures (or disasters…Baked Alaska-never again!) I’ve managed to stretch my painfully small grocery budget amazingly far. And my patient is eating way better than before. Now if only I could teach Supercook how to cook…oh wait a minute… scratch that… then I’d be out of a job!

Love this app.
As a person who is learning how to cook and also can’t spend a fortune on ingredients this is awesome. I get to input what I have and it will give me ideas for dinner from what I have on hand, no more last minute runs to the store because I can’t figure out what to make or am missing an ingredient for the only thing I can think of to make.

I literally tell everyone about this app
I love this app, it’s got 99% of ingredients to pick from, makes it easy to narrow down recipes, and just makes life easier
Fabulous for those on dietary restrictions
I was researching recipes for a friend who has lots of food sensitivities and allergies and was doing a lot of wading but struggling to find many suitable. I researched to see if there was an app that could help and found SuperCook. I chose the only 83 ingredients from the extensive lists that she can eat and it came up with 10,534 recipes from all over the internet!
I was worried that after I entered the whole pantry (time consuming but worth it and can be done by voice) that it then wouldn’t save when I created an account but it did! 😀
You can the filter the recipes by meal type, key ingredient etc. to narrow down your search. It prioritises the recipes you have all the ingredients for but then shows you others where you have one ingredient missing.
So instead of finding recipes for her now, I’ve sent her the details of this app. Job done! Love this app ❤️ and I’m now going to use it for my own pantry so I can use up ingredients I have without having to keep buying more.
And to address the person who said they couldn’t find where to delete their account it was ‘hidden’ under the profile picture where account settings are for most apps. 😆

I love this App
I’d heard of people cleaning out the vacation house fridge with only the ingredients on hand the night before going home. Got me thinking “hey, maybe there’s an app for that!” Of course there is. I like to cook and keep a lot of weird staples on hand, but I’m not creative enough to mash them together or have the time to search a gazillion websites.
Found this app, checked off my 113 odd ingredients coming up with 26k recipe options across so many cultures. I was amazed. Found some great dishes to make then went shopping. A few more ingredients and it’s up to 61k recipes. Last night I made a cabbage “roll” casserole, and a mug cake for dessert, both were so yummy. When that’s gone I’m making pork fried rice and an instant pot cheesecake.
I suggested this app to a few coworkers & my ex husband, they all love it!
You can search dishes, it shows you what ingredients you’re missing to expand your search too. I haven’t used any other features. It’s a free app.
Definitely a win!

Great app for avoiding waste
Greatest app for avoiding waste, shopping your fridge, and saving money
BEST APP EVER
I don’t even know how to describe it. I downloaded this app looking for something filling I could make at home only to find I can makes thousands. And no ads? This app is truly amazing. Changed my life
Amazing App! I’ve had it for many years
I’ve been using this app for many years and for some reason stopped using it some time ago and opted for a less structured and more stressful system, which didn’t work for me of course. I rediscovered this app and I fell in love with it again! The speech to text grocery list is probably the most stand out feature from it, and all the unique recipes you can get only using your ingredients on hand.
My suggestion would be to be able to organize your grocery list the way we can organize when we add to pantry by different categories. That way, when I’m at the grocery store I know which aisles I need to go to instead of going back and forth between aisles because I missed something that was later in the list. If it had this feature it would be the perfect 5 star app! But it’s still a very high 4.7 right now in my book!

Neurodivergent Dream
This app is is fantastic for myself and my husband as we both have trouble picking meals and finding recipes. We often end up in a loop or pit of despair lol but this app is a game changer for us. Its reminded us of recipes we do like that we’ve previously made and it’s shown us new meals that we are excited to try. You can add in your ingredients and it will cater to what you already have. It has wonderful quick and easy categorized meals and gives you the option of filters if you need to dwindle down your options while you search. Overall a solid app and very helpful. Especially for ADHD and anxiety.

My Favorite App!
This is the app I’ve been wishing for a long time. I’m so glad someone told me about it. Before this app it took a lot of time to search recipes to try to use up a certain ingredient that is going to expire or garden items I have an over abundance of. I’d scroll through recipe after recipe just to find out I didn’t have all the ingredients I needed each time. This app tells me which ingredients I’m missing without having to open the recipe. Just trying to figure out what to make for dinner that doesn’t include a run to the grocery store (a 25 minute drive one way) is making my life so much easier. I’ve tried pantry inventory apps before but adding and removing things was a hassle. This is so much more simple. I recommend it to everyone and I very rarely write reviews but I felt this app was worth it.
