What it does
Shows recipes you can cook with the food already in your pantry. From 5 apps for the iPad that lives in the kitchen.
Cooklist connects your store loyalty cards, builds a pantry out of what you actually bought, then matches recipes to what's in it. From 5 apps for the trip to the supermarket.
The developer describes it as: “Cooklist introduces an entirely new way to think about your relationship with cooking and grocery shopping.”
