Stretch your food dollar further with a simple, free online tool at http://www.bigoven.com/leftoverwizard.htm
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 19, 2005 -- Lakefront Software Inc., publisher of
the award-winning BigOven(tm) for Windows recipe software (http://www.bigoven.com),
announces the immediate availability of the free Leftover Wizard online at http://www.bigoven.com/leftoverwizard.htm.
Simply
start typing in any ingredients in your fridge, and BigOven will instantly
search over 150,000 recipes to suggest things you can make.
“We Americans
waste far too much perfectly good food every day”, said Steve Murch, BigOven
recipe software founder and avid chef. “We’ve put the BigOven Leftover Wizard
online, free of charge, to help everyday cooks figure out how to best use up
things in their fridge, pantries and cupboards. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a
budget or not – you should always be making the most of the food you buy.”
In 1998, the Worldwatch Institute estimated that 26 million more people
in the world could be fed with the world’s food production if Americans reduced
their food consumption by a third.
Now, everyday cooks don’t have to
throw away quite as much food. Simply visit http://www.bigoven.com/leftoverwizard.htm and start typing in
any three ingredients into the BigOven Leftover Wizard, and it will instantly
start searching over 150,000 recipes. For example, entering “chicken”, “carrot”
and “asparagus” will lead you to dozens of great choices, as will “pineapple”,
“sesame” and “tofu”. Try it free, and bookmark the page for easy
access.
