Quick App: Cookmate Recipe Finder for iPhone
Cookmate made by Tapmates [$1.99 - iTunes Link] for iPhone and iPod touch lets you tell it what you already have in your pantry and then finds you a recipe to use it.
The graphics are so beautifully rendered and the interface so user-friendly it makes choosing what to cook for dinner much less stressful. In fact, it's so easy that I even allow my 4 year old to help out.
Cookmate includes a grocery list that you can use to add and later check off any ingredient or items you may be missing.
There is also a user-based rating system for each recipe. On the downside, that means that if no one likes the high-rated meal you prepared, it is probably not the recipe but your cooking. 
Video after the break. If you try it, let us know what you think!

Dammit. 2nd
Thats constructive! this does look pretty fun, i don't really cook though
worth $2 though deffinately.
i got it nice idea
cool for us lazies
I got it a few weeks ago and have used it a couple of times...it's great for those days when you can't just come up with something to build with what you have...cooker's block is gone with this
And how did the meals taste ?
I'm a pretty decent cook, so...it was fine
I'm trying to remember what it was that I actually cooked...probably a chicken dish of some kind, since that's what's usually in my fridge that I buy without a specific dish in mind.
this is actually a pretty good idea.
I was working on something similar but a lot more useful. If you are interested in a collaboration, contact me.
