  • 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.






  • Flour - disagree. King Arthur for baking vs your basic supermarket crap is a tangible taste and texture difference in baking. While you’re at it, get a mill and buy organic wheat berries and save money for higher quality l, more nutritious flour. It’s literally cheaper to get better quality if you are willing to mill it.

    Butter- Same for butter if you’re using butter as a spread. It’s ok to use cheap stuff in cooking but if it’s the main complementary flavor, like butter on toast, treat yo self to some Kerry Gold.



  • Don’t forget that making a spliff out of your train ticket, ink and all, is a thing lol

    Edit: There are also pockets where the police won’t go because they recognize they’re full of crime and drugs, but as long as it stays within those couple of streets, they’re happy to let things stay as they are so it doesn’t spill out.

    Oh and over a quarter of the population consists of immigrants.

    And there’s free water everywhere… hiking, in towns… just bring a water bottle and find a fountain that’s always running. The water is ice cold year round too.

    It’s also the home of H.R. Geiger (Alien design fame) in Gruyère. You can go to the town of Gruyère, which is gorgeous, and see the museum, go to the Alien-inspired café, see how they make the Gruyère cheese that you probably know, and even visit the Cailler chocolate factory, which has a Willy Wonka-type tour with infinite chocolate tasting at the end… mmmmmmm…
