Need a recipe? CookThink it

Cookthink is a new site that is a kind of Google for recipes, not just a recipe site but a place where you can enter ingredients and dishes and it serves up possible recipes. So if you have potatoes, capers, rosemary and parmesan on hand you can plug them in and get a bunch of recipes that use those ingredients.

From a kitchen design point of view, sites like this foreshadow the end of cookbooks in the kitchen. With a simple Internet access point (laptop, PDA, iPhone, computer, etc.) in the kitchen and a big database of recipes you can, theoretically, have access to an entire bookstore’s worth of cookbooks that are smart enough to serve up recipes that you need without resorting to endless index searches in actual books.

I love cookbooks and own dozens but I often need to find things the way CookThink works. Pretty cool.
