    Is there any website that has a kind of calculator that you can input your ingredients and it gives you a list of possible dishes that contain your ingredients? I'm always searching for a website and never find the perfect one.

    For example, if I have left in my kitchen only bread and eggs - what can I make? french toast, boiled egg and soldiers etc. Or if I have chicken, carrots and potatoes in my fridge, what can I make? etc

    UKTV food have a recipe search that I find decent enough, I use it regularly.

    BBC/food have a good one too.

    Their search functions don't allow you to specify the only ingredients you have. Typing in chicken, carrots and potatoes gives you lamb dishes, dishes with yoghurt etc. Maybe it doesn't exist.

    I'm talking about the only ingredients I have in my fridge - search..

    The one and only http://allrecipes.com/Search/Ingredients.aspx !
    I use this ALL the time, there is a UK/Ireland portal too but seems to have far less recipies.
    Allrecipies has everything though as well as rating on recpies , reviews ...its brilliant!
