Show HN: Discover Recipes by Ingredients

I stupidly spent a while trying to type all the substrings leading up to "Avacado" hoping that autocomplete would kick in. Perhaps I've got used to Google correcting my terrible spelling.

This is a clever idea, makes it simple to get ideas for things you already have in your cupboard. Although its in a simple form currently, you could do so much with this concept.

Just saw this bug, thanks for letting me know. Will fix it asap.

Very simple compared to other apps I've seen do this, which is much appreciated.

Worked well on desktop but unusable on my iPhone5 in either safari or chrome. There seems to be a polling script or something that's causing a page refresh every half second or something? Safari continuously shows the loading bar preventing you from selecting the ingredients bar and Chrome just flashes the page continuously.

Great work though!

Firefox 29.0.1: Can't type into the text field to put in an ingredient. EDIT: Typing is there, can't see the text. (White on white?)

Same here with Firefox 30.0, can type but can't read what I'm typing.

No garlic scapes in the database? Seems like it's a bit limited.
