## What is TasteMatch?

TasteMatch helps you think like a chef, save time, and cook creatively every day using what you have on hand. The app features lightning-fast combinations, intelligent suggestions and full recipes based on your choices. All with no ads and no distractions.

With more than 50,000 matches at your fingertips, you can instantly find ingredients that fit with what you're making, make choices on the fly, and focus on using what you have in the fridge.  You can refine your matches by regional cuisine, season, and cooking method, allowing you to choose your path with confidence. Using the combinator feature, you can combine multiple ingredients and see shared matches instantly, effortlessly building a dish or an entire meal from a single starting point.  You can also get intelligent recommendations for what to make, sides, wine pairings, desserts and more.  

TasteMatch is also a community of real people posting their creations and publishing innovative, classic and seasonal combinations to spark your imagination.  And if you want to post your own creations, you’re welcome to.  We want to see what you’re cooking.

MATCHES
At the core of TasteMatch is an extensive collection of more than 50,000 pairings that we call “matches”.  These matches are designed to help you make ingredient choices in the moment. Every single match has been carefully researched, scored and cross-checked against multiple references, including regional experts.

COMBINING INGREDIENTS
The combinator feature instantly shows you the shared matches between items you select, helping you effortlessly build a well-matched creation from a single starting point.

SUGGESTIONS & RECIPES
You can get intelligent suggestions for what to make with your choices, what sides to serve, what wines pair well and more. This feature is an awesome synthesis of human and artificial intelligence. We review all suggestions for quality and we're continually updating our systems to improve results. You can also use our Ask The Chef assistant feature to get quick answers for any cooking-related questions you have.

FULL RECIPES
While TasteMatch is mainly designed for free-form cooking, we know that sometimes you want a recipe as a reference. We've got you covered. You can get full recipes directly from the suggestions in the app. 

POST YOUR CREATIONS
TasteMatch is a community of people who love to cook. Browse the feed to see what others are posting and if you decide to post, rest-assured, you're among kindred spirits.  We want to see what you're cooking.

### 5/5 — Helps with kitchen creativity!

*2024-09-10*

My partner and I had been feeling like we were in a culinary rut and cooking the same things over and over again. This app has been a game changer and brought excitement back to our kitchen. Whenever we have a random ingredient or two we want to use, we use the app to see what other ingredients go well with them. From there, you can see recipe options (which I personally like since I'm no wizard in the kitchen) and even get suggestions for sides that would pair well. Using recommendations from this app, we have found new and better ways to make our staples - such as adding lemon juice and garlic to asparagus - and started making totally new dishes - such as oregano pork tenderloin. The app always works smoothly too. I highly recommend paying the nominal monthly fee to support this small business and spice up your cooking!

### 1/5 — Free trial

*2024-08-30*

It’s actually a free trial that you have to sign up for can I just like have an option to just be given ads so I don’t have to sign up for any free trials?

### 4/5 — Loving TasteMatch so far

*2023-07-14*

I had been in a creative rut in the kitchen, TasteMatch has helped a ton. The Combinator has sparked some ideas on how to use ingredients that I’ve got on hand. Really works to keep weeknight cooking fun.
