Pantry Inventory/Meal planner

July 3, 2021 10:20 AM

One of you fine people shared a PC program that keeps your pantry/fridge/freezer inventory then suggests meals, depending on what you have on hand. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Please and Thank you!

You might be thinking of Eat Your Books, which I mentioned in that same thread. It's a website where (with a subscription) you can log your cookery books, and then if you tell it what ingredients you're interested in cooking with, it can tell you which recipes you'll find in which books. (Then you have to go and look in the book for the actual instructions.) It also works as an index for online recipes: here's an example of a search for online recipes using bacon and asparagus, which hopefully you don't need a subscription to see.

Grocy? It's a self hosted web based application.
Supercook? It's a website that takes your inventory and finds recipes, but you have to maintain your inventory.

Sounds like Supercook to me

Half Lemons is this and has a pretty intuitive UI.

Mealime is also good, but more meal plan focused. The recipes are very, very easy to follow though.

Response by poster: Thanks all! It's "Supercook" FTW. But grocy looks interesting, I just may try it.

Thanks again!
