Cookbook or digital Jeeves

I'm searching for a cooking website or cooking software that will let me input the contents of my kitchen and then show me a list of everything I can make using those ingredients. Does this even exist?

There's this.

Or perhaps the advanced search on Epicurious?

Allrecipes has one.

Honestly, I have great results simply typing ingredients into Google and adding the word "recipe".

btw, if you're looking for a similar feature for booze, both WebTender and DrinksMixer allow you to enter the contents of your bar and will spit out cocktails you can make with them.

I think MasterCook can do this. I've never used the program, but I've heard great things about it.

www.foodieview.com is designed JUST for that very purpose.

And I just registered my Metafilter account JUST to post this. Guess I will be using it more and more now.

The same question has arisen with me: what can I make with e.g. some rice, a can of tuna and this random thing in the fridge? I can't wait to try out some of those links myself, as well as Googling the "my cupboard contents + recipe".
