How it works...

Come up with new flavour combinations and find some cooking inspiration using our free tool.

We have looked at over 12,500 recipes from top chefs to work out which ingredients are regularly paired together.

We do not aim to tell you how to cook the the ingredients; there are 1,000s of existing recipe websites that will tell you that! We just aim to offer some Cooking Inspiration!

Choose your main ingredient (or the ingredient you really would like to use from fridge). e.g. Chicken.
The list will then narrow to show only ingredients which have been used in the same recipe as Chicken.
Choose your next ingredient - something else you have in the fridge or cupboard - e.g. tomatoes
The list will then get smaller again as it will now only include ingredients which have been in recipes along with Chicken AND tomato.
By this point - some inspiration will appear on the page: an ingredient that you have hidden at the back of your cupboard but have never known what to use it in... e.g Rose water!

Do you constantly cook bland and boring meals? Do you lack inspiration when faced with a cupboard of ingredients? Do you have an ingredient that you just not know what to do with?

Enter your ingredients, for some inspiration.
