pantry stuff

now you don't have to put in an amount when you're setting up your pantry - if you keep it at zero, snacksby'll just assume you've got enough for whatever!

i put a ton of stuff in my pantry and it still tells me I can only make crepes. maybe there should be an option where you can choose to get recipes which you have "most of" the ingredients for?

i'm trying to rewrite a buncha the code for searching this week, so hopefully it will get some hot new features (like that one!) soon

What if when adding tags to a recipe or ingredient there is a drop down like for the ingredients, sometimes i'm adding something and wonder what else other people have used and what are commen tags so that people can find what they need! Thanks muchly!

claire: I agree with you. A 'most relevant recipe' feature would be awesome.

Maybe something like, the recipe with the _most_ of what you have lists at the top, even if you don't have everything -- a lot of people will be able to scrounge substitues, and then subsequent recipes listed after, each contaning items from your search.

As it is right now, it requires people to list everything they have. If I were telling someone what I had in my pantry, for instance, I wouldn't normally list seasoning. It's just something I always have, since any given recipe won't use that much, but I couldn't get a recipe to come up until I added 'black pepper' to my list. Also, when adding ingredients, people will be likely to forget things, since people have cabinents and refrigerators along with pantries.

also, (for example) if I say I have "flour" in my pantry, recipes which ask for "all purpose flour" don't come up - would be nice to have 'flour' to stand for all kinds of flour.
