Not what is in the cupboard. What you feel like.

Pick more than one if you like. Every result says what it was matched on: the taste model is an estimate, the time is the number the recipe itself states, and the weight is energy computed from the ingredient list.

Clear

Tomato soup

The taste of this soup is the taste of the tomato, which means a bad tomato cannot make a good one. In winter use paste and wait for the season.

30 min taste 88 143 kcal

Vermicelli soup

A childhood soup and a fifteen-minute rescue. Toasting the vermicelli is the whole recipe.

15 min taste 86 149 kcal

Broccoli soup

One rule for keeping it green: no lid, and not a minute over eight.

30 min taste 84 152 kcal

Flour soup

Three ingredients — flour, butter, water — and all of the flavour is in how long the flour is toasted.

20 min taste 80 146 kcal

Orzo pilaf

Orzo is pasta rather than rice: its starch behaves differently, and cooked without toasting it glues itself together in the pan.

28 min taste 86 377 kcal

Porridge

Five minutes, of which the first one decides everything: the oats go into cold liquid, never into boiling.

10 min taste 84 423 kcal

Menemen

Pepper, tomato and egg. Know the order and the heat and it takes fifteen minutes; miss them and you get a watery omelette.

15 min taste 79 299 kcal

Pasta with tomato paste

There is no sauce until the paste has been fried: raw paste stays sour and metallic.

20 min taste 85 570 kcal

Çılbır

Poached eggs on garlicky yoghurt, finished with butter sizzled with chilli. Three temperatures stacked: warm yoghurt, running yolk, scalding fat.
