Pantry meal finder
What can I make with what I've got?
Tick what's in the fridge and cupboards. MealWhim shows the meals you're closest to, with anything missing listed underneath.
Basics: salt & pepper, cooking oil, olive oil, butter, plain flour, sugar, garlic, onions, dried herbs & spices, vegetable stock, vinegar.
Meals you could make
Tick a few ingredients to see ideas.
How the matching works
Every one of MealWhim's meal ideas has a short list of key ingredients. The finder compares them with what you've ticked and puts the meals that need the fewest extra things first; among those, meals that use more of your ingredients come higher. A meal only appears if it uses at least one thing you ticked, not just the basics.
With Assume I have the basics on, everyday items such as salt and pepper, oil, onions, garlic, flour and dried spices count as being in the cupboard. Switch it off to tick them one by one. Ingredients are deliberately broad, so "cheddar or similar cheese" covers most hard cheeses and "fresh herbs" whatever you have. Your ticks are saved in this browser for next time.
Questions
Does it check for allergies or dietary needs?
Only vegetarian and vegan, as described on each idea. It can't know what's in your packaged ingredients, so if you cook for an allergy, check every label yourself.
Why doesn't a dish I know appear?
The finder only knows MealWhim's own list of ideas, and only their key ingredients. Try ticking a broader set, or raise "Missing at most".
