Your recipe collection is only useful if you can find what you need. PlateParrot’s deep search doesn’t just look at titles; it scans ingredients and tags. Type “Chicken” to find dinner, or type “Spinach” to find a way to use up leftovers before they go bad.
You have a fully stocked digital cookbook. You also have a bag of carrots in the fridge that needs to be used today.
You know you saved a great carrot soup recipe last winter. But was it called “Ginger Carrot Soup”? Or “Winter Warmer”? Or maybe just “Dad’s Soup”? You type “Soup” and get 50 results. You type “Carrot” in other apps, and they only show recipes with “Carrot” in the title, ignoring that amazing stew that is full of carrots but is named “Beef Bourguignon.” The result? You give up, the carrots rot, and you order pizza.
A Search Engine for Your Fridge
PlateParrot builds a search index that goes deeper than the cover. It reads inside your recipes.
When you type “Zucchini,” the app doesn’t just look for recipes named “Zucchini Bread.” It instantly pulls up the Lasagne that uses zucchini as a layer, the Stir-Fry that needs a veggie boost, and the Chocolate Cake that hides a cup of shredded squash. It turns your recipe library into a “Reverse Cookbook”: instead of shopping for a recipe, you find a recipe for what you already have.
How It Works
The search bar is your command center.
- Tap Search.
- Type an Ingredient: Enter “Eggs” to see every breakfast, brunch, or baking recipe you have.
- Type a Vibe: Enter “Spicy” (if you used tags) to filter by flavor.
- Combine: Type “Chicken” and select the
#Quicktag to narrow it down to fast poultry dishes.
FAQ
Is it case-sensitive?
No. Typing “flour” finds “Flour,” “FLOUR,” and “flour.” Speed is key.
