Food Apps: Whether you are daydreaming about your next study break snack or planning ahead to dinner time \u2013 you can spend a large amount of valuable time thinking about what you want to eat. Or what you can afford or what you have at home.<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t all blessed with Gordan Ramsey\u2019s skills in the kitchen, but that doesn\u2019t mean we have to suffer each time we open the fridge.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve found some great food apps so you can cut back on food wastage and save money \u2013 time to say goodbye to sad and forgotten-at-the-bottom-of-the-fridge veggies and hello to quick, cheap, and healthy meal planning.<\/p>\n

SuperCook.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One tomato + two eggs + one mushroom + grated cheese + sliced ham = hopefully a tasty lunchtime snack.<\/p>\n

SuperCook<\/a> is a food app that helps you decide what to cook with the basic ingredients you have in your fridge. You simply select from the list of ingredients split into categories and the app will share what you can create with them.<\/p>\n

You can even use the app to plan your shopping list before you hit the supermarket \u2013 saving you time.<\/p>\n

SuperCook finds you popular recipe websites. You can have fun discovering new meals to try that you maybe didn\u2019t think you had the ingredients (or the time) for.<\/p>\n

\"Lovecannedfood.com\"<\/h3>\n

Not a food app but a food website. People often dismiss canned food or don\u2019t realise that they can be used to create a full and balanced meal. Simple meals from canned food we have lying in our cupboards are easy to make. Canned food is often cheaper than fresh food and lasts longer.<\/p>\n

There is also no real evidence to show that canned food is not as nutritious as fresh food. The canning process helps to maintain many essential vitamins \u2013 so they are canned at the right time to ensure the right level of nutrition.<\/p>\n

Lovecannedfood.com<\/a> have quick and easy recipes for you to try out \u2013 give it a go!<\/p>\n

Cookpad.com.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Truly the Pinterest of recipe sites, Cookpad<\/a> is a global recipe sharing platform. They have over 5 million recipes shared and available in almost 70 countries around the world in 23 languages. So much variety.<\/p>\n

If you have a dish you\u2019ve invented (or pinched from a family member) you can upload it and share instructions on how to make it with other users. It\u2019s a handy way to see what other people are cooking day-to-day in your city or around the world. You\u2019ll discover how easy it is to plan and experience new food without spending too much money with this food app.<\/p>\n

\n

Around 33% of all food produced in the world every year is wasted, it\u2019s a number that has seriously negative effects on the planet. So we should all try our best to reduce the amount of food waste we produce \u2013 while also keeping our meals healthy.<\/p>\n
