Find Recipes by Ingredients

You open the fridge and see chicken thighs, half an onion, some garlic, and a can of coconut milk. What can you make? This is the most common cooking question, and answering it well means less food waste, fewer grocery runs, and more creative meals. But searching for recipes by ingredient is hard with traditional recipe sites that expect you to know what you want to cook first.

The filter_by_ingredient skill finds recipes that use specific ingredients you have on hand. The search_recipes skill broadens the search when you want more options. Together they turn your current pantry into a menu of possibilities. Instead of buying ingredients to fit a recipe, you find recipes that fit your ingredients.

This is valuable for anyone trying to reduce food waste, cook on a budget, or simply answer the eternal question of what to make for dinner. It is especially useful when you have ingredients approaching their expiration date and need to use them up before they go bad.
