ezEating.net finds recipes that use only ingredients that you have - in your home, fridge, cupboard. This search engine is continuously indexing new recipes and learning new words.
SHARKS WILL NOT BE SERVED:
As I found a software patent sharks on the internet trying to put into patent this trivial idea that was not even invented first by them, let me spell out here the code for the most primitive and simple solution to this problem (finding recipes that use only ingredients from your ingredient list):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in_list = '' for i in range(max_num_ingredients): in_list += " AND ingredient"+i+" IN (ingredient_list)" sql = "SELECT recipe_url,recipe_title FROM recipe_index_table WHERE unknown_words = 0 "+in_list+" ;"; result = mysql_query(sql) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Figuring out meanings of table column names is trivial.
That's it! Three lines of code give the core of the solution to the problem that some unethical developers want to include into a patent!
Lincence for above few lines of code (and the idea that it covers):

SOON:
1,000,000+ recipes. Ingredient suggest tool. Fuzzy search. Spellchecker. Ingredient images.
Improved detection of ingredients that consist of two or more words.
Note: due to inconsistent recipe format on indexed websites, search engine doesn't function properly.
This is fixed in the new version of the site (to be published soon).

Having a good recipe is not enough - you also need good ingredients. Try local harvest. Organic food tastes better.
Pork is so, mmm... yummy! :P
