Its user friendly platform allows me to store items in my cupboard and change/update it quickly and easily whenever I need. So far, it has only generated quick and delicious recipes that I would never have tried otherwise! ### 5/5 — Such a great app *2015-11-04, version 1.0* So often when you use other recipe sites, you get recipes with loads of ingredients that you don't actually have in the kitchen, but with this app, the recipes produced are only those where you have ingredients at home - which is perfect for when I haven't done any shopping in over a week, and I completely forget what is actually in my kitchen (and can't be bothered going to the shops)! It is fairly easy to use and I can easily add and take off ingredients from my cupboard to make sure it is only producing the relevant results. This is great for my pocket as I don't waste the food that I purchase, and I don't get too lazy by just ordering take away. There have been a couple of hiccups using the app, but I just love this idea. Can't wait to see what else happens with this app in future releases as since I have been using it, more and more recipes keep coming up! The only problem now is trying to decide on what I actually feel like for dinner (or breakfast or lunch). ### 5/5 — Life Saver *2015-11-02, version 1.0* If you cook at home then you need this app, give it a go! How it works I have no idea but it's a life saver, it's really genius. I'm discovering great meals I would never have imagined trying and saving money on my family's grocery bill. Would love to see more international recipes but it's already one of my favourite apps ### 5/5 — Genius idea, glad someone's done it *2015-09-17, version 1.0* This is a brilliant app, it'll be one of the few that I download that end up getting used daily. Simply plug in the ingredients you have at home and the app does the thinking for you ### 5/5 — 👍OMG AMAZING😊 *2015-09-06, version 1.0* Thank you to whom ever came up with this ingenious idea!! I stumbled across this app and wow thank goodness I did...it gives you meal and desert ideas with the ingredients you have in you pantry and fridge without having to go to the supermarket and purchase new ingredients...I am using it on a daily basis to give me new meal ideas...I never thought having such little ingredients could give you countless meal and desert ideas..thanks a million ## Frequently asked questions about Mother Hubbard ### What is Mother Hubbard?
