This is an interesting thing that someone told me about a few weeks ago. They said that they come up with recipes by simply typing some ingredients into Google and then seeing what it produces. I tried it with a few random lists of items and came up with long lists of ideas.
Now, if we could just blend a personal coach, a personal chef, and an automated kitchen that tracked all my products by barcode, I would have a very cool “smart house” type of feature for helping me eat healthy.
Enabling Healthy Decisions 
Keep an eye on the MIT Media Lab – this “kitchen” you speak of (that allows you to inventory items and creates recipes based on available ingredients) is under development!
