If you try it post your recipe here.

100% of 2 ingredients in Scrambled eggs.
They are the ultimate in quick tasty food.

100% of 2 ingredients in Cheese Soufflé Omelette
An easy, but very impressive dish. Give it a go and show off to a loved one, or one you want to be loved by.

100% of 1 ingredients in Fried egg.
I think you know what this is!

80% of 5 ingredients in Cheese Soufflé Omelette
This is a very quick way to impress. It arises magnificently from the oven. A soufflé, ready and waiting to go. Just eat it quickly as they do tend to drop.

75% of 4 ingredients in Creamy Tuna
A cool accompaniment to salads and the like.

75% of 4 ingredients in Pasta with cheese sauce.
A slightly creamy, definitely cheesy pasta sauce.

75% of 4 ingredients in Pasta with a butter and smoked salmon sauce.
A wonderful quick and easy dish infused with the majesty of smoked salmon.

67% of 3 ingredients in Herby Bread
Like garlic bread without the garlic, but with butter. This is great for when you want to go out afterwards and still have people talking to you.

67% of 3 ingredients in Herby Pittas
Herby butter combines with pitta bread to make a wonderful snack that does not scare people off because of your breath.

67% of 3 ingredients in White Chocolate Mousse
So decadent, so good it’s almost bad.
You are missing an essential ingredient : White Chocolate.

100% of 4 ingredients in Potato salad.

A light potato salad wich is wonderful for the summer.
You are missing an essential ingredient : Potatoes.

I would call this a very good idea, poorly implemented.

The recipe they suggest for a four-star potato salad is ridiculous.

How is "salad" a component ingredient?
Or "herbs and spices" - which ones?

Just for funsies, I reported I only had butter and fish. This is what it said:

40g/ 1 1/2oz. Butter
2 Flat fish. Fish

Method
method: 1. Take your flat fish and put in a grill pan.

2. Rub the skin with a knob of butter and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

3. Grill under a medium to hot grill until the skin crisps up. The fish should now be cooked and ready to serve.

4. Serve with wedges of lemon, peas and chips.
Uh, DUH, I never said I had lemons, peas, or chips. Shall I run out and get them? Then why not just buy ingredients for a regular meal anyway?

What the hell is "Digestive Bisc't"??

Meh. Needs beta testing. It repeatedly told me I was missing essential ingredients in recipes for which I had 100% of the ingredients.

Also, I am apparently missing the essential ingredient of Watermelon. It's a damn shame it didn't ASK me if I have any watermelon...

Stupid.

I have most of the ingredients they ask about, and my first 3 recipe suggestions were; an apple, a steak, and a fried egg. Do I really need a recipe for these culinary masterpieces?

I only had eggs for the most part and I got a couple good recipe ideas.

I think it works best if your kitchen is almost empty and you think your about ready to starve. :P
