For flavor pairings for your kitchen bookshelf I highly recommend: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4443485-the-flavor-bible
Yes indeed, I have both the original and vegetarian versions, they are outstanding. I would also recommend the "Flavor Matrix" which leans more towards theory and technique, rather than just being a reference;

I found out unusual pairings from https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2013/03/12/The-sci... and https://www.foodpairing.com
Now if it knew what I had bought from the grocery store, their expiry dates, and how much time I had to make a meal and then it could tell me what to make.
Maybe it could tell me what to buy at the grocery store as well...
And maybe it could track my calories.
This needs to all be integrated together.

That's a great idea with a lot of moving parts, so it would definitely be a fun challenge. I'm currently working on a "pantry search" to help you find recipes with the exact ingredients you have on hand.
I searched for ginger and the few I clicked and checked had no ginger in the recipe or description. I tried messing with the advanced search as well but maybe I am doing something wrong there. I guess it's finding me dishes that go well with some dish I have with ginger?
There seems to be a bug where I had to search twice to get relevant results.
For example I typed "pumpkin", hit enter, the url is updated to https://www.kulinarian.com/recipes/?search=pumpkin and the spinner shows. But then it loads what is probably generic results (dunkaroo dip, salmon burgers..) . Then I hit enter again, and finally get relevant results loading.

You should see ginger in the ingredients list. However, the recipe search is based on postgres full text search, so it's possible something is being missed. I need to update the recipe search for flavor pairings to ensure there is an exact match for the given ingredients.
And thanks for testing it out!

Weird. I tried searching ginger and had no problem finding recipes that included it as an ingredient.
See also apps like Chef Watson, MyFridgeFood which suggest recipes based on ingredients you already have available at home.
Is Chef Watson still a thing? Their original site/app seems to be dead.
Anyways this is an amazing project, good luck!
