For flavor pairings for your kitchen bookshelf I highly recommend: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4443485-the-flavor-bible

Yes indeed, I have both the original and vegetarian versions, they are outstanding. I would also recommend the "Flavor Matrix" which leans more towards theory and technique, rather than just being a reference; https://www.amazon.com/dp/0544809963

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There seems to be a bug where I had to search twice to get relevant results. For example I typed "pumpkin", hit enter, the url is updated to https://www.kulinarian.com/recipes/?search=pumpkin and the spinner shows. But then it loads what is probably generic results (dunkaroo dip, salmon burgers..) . Then I hit enter again, and finally get relevant results loading.

I'm assuming you're talking about the general recipe search bar in the top nav? If so, I can't replicate that issue. Which OS/browser versions are you using?

Safari 12 (latest). I didn't see any errors in console

Thanks again, I'll look into it

Now if it knew what I had bought from the grocery store, their expiry dates, and how much time I had to make a meal and then it could tell me what to make.

Maybe it could tell me what to buy at the grocery store as well...

And maybe it could track my calories.

This needs to all be integrated together.

That's a great idea with a lot of moving parts, so it would definitely be a fun challenge. I'm currently working on a "pantry search" to help you find recipes with the exact ingredients you have on hand.

I looked up 'potato' and ended up with a lot of obscure but delicious options. Looks like a win to me. I do have a little suggestion btw: Any reasons you did not put the search bar on the middle of the screen on the mobile version? I think that would be more intuitive for the user.

Anyways this is an amazing project, good luck!
