40 cans of San Miguel, a yoghurt and a dead badger: What YOU told me is in your fridge

I’m trying to build you a better recipe tool. Several of you have helpfully explained how much room there is for improvement Published: 20:09 EST, 13 November 2026 | Updated: 20:09 EST, 13 November 2026 Try the updated recipe toolSometimes the hardest part of dinner is deciding what to make. There are ingredients in the fridge, perfectly good things in the cupboard, and very little enthusiasm for cooking the same meal again.That’s where Daily Mail Kitchen comes in. Tell our recipe tool what you have, and it suggests something to cook: a little inspiration for tonight’s dinner, starting with the food you’ve already bought.When we launched it last week, I asked you to put it to the test. You were admirably thorough.Several readers pointed out that, having entered a perfectly respectable list of ingredients, they were advised to pop out and buy fish. You supplied the contents of your fridge. We suggested something else. We’ve updated the tool to make better use of the ingredients you enter and keep extra shopping to a minimum.Give it another go next time you’re deciding what to cook. I’d love to hear what you made, how it turned out and what would make it more useful. Your suggestions are helping shape Daily Mail Kitchen.Try the updated recipe tool Come and cook with Harry HumphreysWe’re also piloting a weekly live cook-along with presenter Harry Humphreys, and we’re inviting readers to join him.The starting point is your fridge. You tell us what’s in it, Harry puts your ingredients through the recipe tool live, and we arrange delivery of anything missing. You and Harry then cook together while everyone at home follows along.You don’t need to be an accomplished cook…Whether you enjoy cooking every evening or have been rotating the same three dinners for years, we’d love to hear from you.Tell us a little about yourself and what’s in your fridge right now.Sign up to take part
