Do you make a grocery list, or do you just go to the store and wing it? (sh.itjust.works)

Yeah but I'm not even asking for that. I literally want a "start recipe" button... I enter each ingredient in separate text boxes... Optional "instruction" box to paste the instructions... Later I decide "on Tuesday let's have home made pizza, then on Wednesday we'll do beef tips and noodles" and I click a check box or type in recipe name, system sees ingredients I previously entered for that recipe and adds it to grocery list.

No web scrapping or parsing needed. I will enter the ingredients for each recipe but I only want to enter it once

    Oh yeah, I get it. On iOS I use a simple database app called Collections that I really like, I use it for mileage tracking and certain kinds of journaling or lists that need extra features like a relational key or lookups or sketch or calculation fields etc. When I can’t find an app that does what I want.

    Basically a simple roll-yer-own approach. I haven’t looked into sharing the data dynamically, though. I think Collections is iOS only, probably similar apps galore on android. https://collectionsdb.com/
