Website of the Week


Trying to decide what to cook for dinner tonight? I know that one problem I always seem to have is that whenever I decide to try a recipe from a book, I always seem to be missing some ingredients. If you have this problem too, try Cooking By Numbers! Just indicate by checking the boxes which ingredients you have in your refrigerator and pantry, click Find Recipes, and you have a list of printable recipes that use those ingredients. The recipes are listed in order, with the top one having the highest percent of ingredients you have. If you're feeling lucky (or don't mind having to go to the store for any missing ingredients), just click the I Feel Lucky! box, and the site will offer up a random recipe from the list it has generated for you. (For those of us whose cooking skills could charitably by described as minimal, the site also boasts a Skills by Number section, which teaches you various cooking skills with text and pictures, such as How to Boil an Egg.)
