  • Supercook for recipes with filters and based on ingredients you have on hand.

    Really helpful. I tried probably 6 apps a year ago, including Paprika, and nothing came close. Voice to text for adding ingredients is awesome when you come back from the grocery store.

    When looking for recipes, you can spice things up by filtering for recipes where you’re only missing one, two, or three ingredients too, which really opens things up.

    This past week, it suggested some amazing dishes I hadn’t tried before. One was a tofu dish with 6 cloves of garlic with skin on, onions, red pepper flakes, lime, and super firm tofu. Delicious over basmati rice.

    The other was a pecan streusel coffee cake. Didn’t even know I had ingredients to make this. Freaking delicious.

    The recipes pull from across the Internet and they do a great job removing the fluff to show you just the recipe, but if their coding messes up you can always go directly to the recipe source too.

    You can favorite recipes of course too.

    Finally you can start a shopping list there too. So let’s say you’re browsing for some new recipes and you have that filter on for “missing 1 ingredient”. Simply add it to your shopping list along with whatever else you need. If you are diligent about updating your pantry in the app as you use up ingredients, you can also just review all food you have and use the app to keep building your shopping list for the rest of your normal supermarket trips.

    It’s an all around great app and totally free without ads. I assume they sell your pantry data and grocery list data to stay afloat. Which… I really don’t care about.








  • Some advertisers know their market and pinpoint, others just drag net to see what sticks. You’re getting the equivalent of cold calling for ads. If you show interest in something even once, you’re a target.

    Edit: All advertisers are not geniuses. If they’re serving you the same ad for a thing that is not consumable, then one of two things happened. First, their tracking pixel at checkout was not able to associate you with your purchase. Maybe they set it up correctly or there was an error. Maybe you saw the ad on your phone and bought on your computer without enough common data points to connect them both to you. Second, the advertiser may not have set their campaign to stop serving after you converted, which is a total waste of their money. Laugh at them.
