Supercook!

Now, I can not say that I’ve joined the ranks as a super cook like the rest of my family (like dad and his kitchen, my brother and our bakery) just yet, but this website will sure help. Super Cook.com is a great way to get ideas to start cooking with ingredients already found in your kitchen.

As I type this, I am laying on my couch in a new apartment as I wait for the gas man to turn on our stove. So cooking, in general, is not an option. The unemployment also puts a damper on grocery shopping. This is where Super Cook comes in. For the site, you plug in what you have in your kitchen (for example: cereal, milk, bacon, and bread). Then it will spit out recipes you can make with those ingredients, and suggest other recipes requiring a missing item or two.

It’s a brilliant idea, except for one thing. The results are often unappetizing when you have such a short list of ingredients. I’m sure once I get a table to eat on, I’ll be more prone to cook more. Until then, it’s cereal and tuna salad all the way.
