What are 'Recommended' ingredients and how are they calculated?
The list of 'Recommended' ingredients (below 'Your kitchen') is customized for you based on the ingredients you currently have in your kitchen. 'Recommended' ingredients are ingredients which have automatically been determined to pair well with the ingredients in your kitchen. For example, if you add 'lamb steak' to your kitchen, you will see 'rosemary' as one of the 'Recommended' ingredients. In this example, Supercook has automatically figured out that 'lamb' and 'rosemary' have a very strong connection.
Why do some ingredients in the 'Recommended' section have larger fonts?
The font size of each 'Recommended' ingredient reflects the strength of the connection between the ingredient and the current contents of your kitchen. A large font size implies the ingredient has a very strong connection and would add significant value if added to your kitchen.
Can Supercook help me improve my cooking skills?
Yes! Using the 'Recommended' section on supercook, you can instantly find out what flavors go well together. For example, if there was a dish you wanted to improve upon that consisted of 'chicken, ginger and garlic', simply enter those ingredients into 'your kitchen'. Supercook will instantly calculate that the best ingredients to add are 'soy sauce, brown sugar, onion and lemon' and display them under the 'Recommended' ingredients section. By taking the suggestions Supercook offers and adding the 'Recommended' ingredients to your dish, you can quickly learn how to significantly improve your dishes.
Why does the list of 'Recommended' ingredients change when I switch tabs?
The list of 'Recommended' ingredients is uniquely calculated based on the tab you are currently viewing. For example, under the Desserts tab, supercook will logically only recommended ingredients that are common in dessert dishes.
I added 'filet mignon' to my kitchen, but a recipe I clicked on calls for 't-bone steak'. What's going on?
Supercook has a built-in network of food substitutions. In this case, Supercook determined that your 'filet mignon' would be a satisfactory substitution for the 't-bone steak' which the recipe requires. These automatic food substitutions are a unique feature of Supercook.
I definitely want to use oranges in my Entree, how do I tell supercook to display ONLY Entrees that use oranges?
By default, supercook automatically decides which mix of your ingredients to use when building your list of recipe results. However, if you want to override the default behavior and force the use of a certain ingredient, simply locate the ingredient in 'Your kitchen' and click it. Clicking the ingredient will 'toggle' it on and it will be highlighted in green. You can 'toggle' as many ingredients as you like. Supercook will now ONLY display recipes which contain the ingredients you have toggled. To 'un-toggle' an ingredient simply click it again. The green highlight will then be removed. Please note that when toggling ingredients supercook will return a limited number of results.
Are there any default ingredients Supercook assumes everybody has at home?
