Great idea. Iterate on it.
I've always wanted to make something like this, for when you've got some stuff in the fridge but don't know what to make.

I suppose I'm looking for a 'Ok Google, what can I make with peas, a poussin, and half an empty can of Doctor Pepper?'
Now that would be cool.
Turn.
Season - salt & peppa, and if they have thyme
Turn again, leave until skin is crispy.
Warm plate.
Turn again, add 'half empty can of Doctor Pepper' to deglaze pot, leading to the syrup to stick to the chicken underside.
Plate.
Peas served freshly boiled, assuming fresh and sweet peas. Plate.
I may even try it...
That being said recipe ratings are so useless.
I swear 75% of negative recipe reviews I've read go something like this:
> I substituted the flour for corn starch, the butter for applesauce (watching my figure!) and the pasta for some awesome butternut squash. Since my SO can't tolerate dairy I smartly replaced the cream with mayonnaise and the parmesan with my own special mixture of bread-crumbs crisco and salt. THIS FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE IS DISGUSTING! WORST I'VE EVER HAD!!!"
And then of course somewhere near the top you'll always have an actual review that leads with a note about people who post reviews of their own concoctions instead of the recipe at hand.
It got difficult because I was at the same time thinking about a way to store the recipes so that they could be searched by ingredients and that isn't trivial (worse that ingredients could be super or sub-specified -- wheat/raw wheat). I was also scraping all recipe blogs I could find to get the recipes, this is also way too complicated for a total beginner.
