Dump Cook: Dump Recipes for Dumb Cooks
This iPhone app seeks to help users like myself find super easy recipes that they can cook at home without hassle. This app is for those who hate cooking, but have to save money.

Users can search by an ingredient they already have, and filter by the number of total ingredients, cooking time, and popularity (how many likes it has).

The Apple TV companion app streamlines the searching and cooking process. Search for recipes using Siri's dictation, browse by cooking method, or go directly to favorites. Display directions on the big screen while cooking with one click access to the timer.
