FridgeToForks vs SuperCook
Both start from what is in your fridge. Here is where they part ways, and a search you can run right now to see the difference.
What SuperCook does well
SuperCook calls itself a "Zero Waste Recipe Generator": you add the ingredients you have, and it searches recipes from across the web that you can make with them. It is free, it has been the default answer to "recipes with what I have" for years, and its filters (meal type, cuisine, diet, time, and a "missing one ingredient" toggle) are quick to use. If you want a wide net cast over the whole internet, it casts one.
Where FridgeToForks differs
A list of recipes is where SuperCook stops and where FridgeToForks starts. When a recipe is one ingredient short, we name the item and offer a swap or a short sub-recipe from what you already have: tortillas from flour, buttermilk from milk and a lemon, breadcrumbs from the end of a loaf. Then the method is rewritten for the pans and machines you actually own, with every changed step labelled. And the recipe opens here, with its own step-by-step method, rather than sending you to another site with a page of ads above the fold.
| SuperCook | FridgeToForks | |
|---|---|---|
| Search by what you have | Yes | Yes, with cupboard staples assumed so you only type the fridge |
| Names the missing ingredient | A "missing one ingredient" filter; the recipe page is elsewhere | Yes, on the card, before you open anything |
| Builds the swap | No | Yes: a substitute, or a short sub-recipe from what you have |
| Steps rewritten for your appliances | No | Yes: air fryer, slow cooker, cast iron, bread machine, labelled and reversible |
| Where the recipe opens | On the source website | Here, with a step-by-step method and Ask the Chef beside it |
| Recipes | Aggregated from around the web | More than 120,000, with photographs for most |
| Ads | Yes | None, and nothing you tell us is ever sold |
| Price | Free | Free during beta; paid plan after |
