Last-Minute Recipe Apps

The Eathow App Helps You Make Meals Out of Whatever Food is Available

The EatHow app seems to have been designed for those who like cooking but hate grocery shopping. It provides recipes sourced from the random stuff you have in the kitchen. For some people looking at a half-empty cupboard and fridge and creating a meal with scraps is second nature. For others it's a daunting challenge. That's where the EatHow app comes in. Simply let it know what you have available and you'll instantly get a list of recipes with easy-to-follow instructions.

In addition to helping you figure out a last-minute meal, the EatHow app can also be used as a shopping list. If you see a recipe you like but don't have all the ingredients for you can add the missing items to a shopping list. The EatHow app is currently in beta with no word yet on the timeline for a wider roll out.
