Recipe Database App Wish
I have a dream. My dream is for a recipe database or app that lets you input ingredients, then spits out recipes based on those selections. “Dummy! That’s what Google is for!” you exclaim. Ah, but I want a bit more than that. I want it to give me recipes that only include those ingredients. …
