Only have a can of chickpeas and an old lemon? Supercook will tell you to make hummus.

EDIT: After playing with this for a few minutes I decided I don't like how entering ingredients works. Why can't I enter more than one at a time? If I enter "garbanzo lemon", supercook thinks there's some kind of ingredient called "garbanzo lemon".

Also, what would make this really shine is if supercook had the ability to differentiate between a main ingredient and an accent ingredient. If I say all I have is bacon, supercook shouldn't suggest that I make bacon-wrapped scallops...

EDIT again: (I'm getting carried away): supercook should differentiate between main ingredients, accent ingredients and things that most people have. So, if I say that I all I have is bacon, supercook should suggest carbonara as a strong possiblity. Most people have some form of spaghetti/linguini and milk or cream. Anyone up for launching a competitor?
