We’ve all been there - you open your fridge, see a random assortment of ingredients, and have no idea what to make. Whether you’re trying to avoid food waste or simply get creative with what you have on hand, searching for recipes with available ingredients can save you time, money, and a trip to the grocery store.
To get the best recipe suggestions, start by making sure your Food List is up to date. This is where you track the ingredients you have on hand. For detailed instructions on how to add, edit, or manage your Food List, refer to the Getting Started with Food List article.
How to Search for Recipes Using Food List:
1. Navigate to the Explore tab in the app.
2. Tap on the search bar

Recipes that use the most ingredients from your Food List will appear first. Recipes that are containing items that are about to expire will be prioritized. Each recipe will show how well it matches your selected ingredients, helping you quickly decide what to cook.
