How recipe matching works
To keep recipe matching practical, we always assume that water, black pepper and basic kitchen salt are available. These ingredients are therefore excluded when calculating recipe matches.
Suggested additions
Based on your selection, these ingredients frequently appear in matching recipes and can help you discover more combinations.

Frequently asked questions
How does the recipe finder work?
Select the ingredients you have and the recipe finder searches for recipes that match your selection. You can then refine the results by course, cuisine, diet or cooking time.
Can I search with more than one ingredient?
Yes. You can select multiple ingredients and the results will update to show recipes that best match the combination you selected.
Do recipes only use the ingredients I select?
Not necessarily. Your selected ingredients are used to find the closest recipe matches, but a recipe may require additional ingredients. Check the full ingredient list before you start cooking.
What does Strict match do?
Strict match narrows the results to recipes that more closely match the ingredients you selected. Use it when you want to focus on recipes that make better use of what you already have.
Why are additional ingredients suggested?
Suggested additions are based on ingredients that frequently appear in recipes matching what you've already selected. They can help you discover ingredients that pair well with your selection and explore more recipe combinations. Adding one may also help you find recipes that better match what you want to make.
Can I filter recipes by diet or cooking time?
Yes. Use the filters to narrow your results by course, cuisine, diet and cooking time. You can combine filters with your selected ingredients to find recipes that better fit your needs.
What if no recipes match my ingredients?
Try removing one of your selected ingredients, turning off Strict match or adding one of the suggested ingredients. A broader selection can help you discover more matching recipes.
