What is Random Recipe?
Random Recipe is a free web-based tool that generates recipe ideas on demand, helping you decide what to cook when you're unsure. The tool provides complete recipes including ingredients lists and step-by-step cooking instructions, making it useful for meal planning, fighting decision fatigue, or discovering dishes outside your usual repertoire. It works best as a source of inspiration rather than a pick collection; you get whatever the random selection offers, which means you might find genuine gems or recipes that don't suit your tastes or dietary needs.
