...where you can input the ingredients you have and it provides recipes that use those ingredients?

It seems like I've heard of such a thing, but I don't remember what it is.

I'm bored with all of the things I know how to cook. I want a challenge. ;)

    I know there is a mixed drink site like that, but I haven't seen a recipe one that does that.

    try the "advanced search" on http://www.allrecipes.com

    I've had OK luck with it. Works best if you tell it what you major ingredients are, and not get so nip-picky as "ginger powder"

    As an Italian, I am cringing at the sight of "food" "recipes" and ".uk" in the same url :D

    That's a great idea! I hope it exists. Whatever you do, cilantro for savory and vanilla bean for sweet (and roasted pecans for both hmmmmmmmmmmm)

    I believe http://www.recipezaar.com has a feature like that... I get recipes off of that site all the time and I love it.

    Thanks again for the all of the wonderful suggestions.

    I've been really getting into cooking lately so I'll have fun exploring all of these sites.
