Why people look beyond HelloFresh
Planned dinners are useful. Lock-in is less useful.
HelloFresh can make weeknight cooking feel organised. Basket List is for the point where you want that organisation around your own saved recipes and supermarket shop.
You want to reuse favourites
Save the meals that worked well and bring them back without hunting through old cards or links.
You want more control
Choose the supermarket, brands, produce, substitutions, and quantities that suit your household.
You want one household list
Plan meals and share the same live shopping list with whoever is doing the shop.
Saved meals
Build your own repeatable cookbook
Basket List works best when you save the dinners your household actually wants again. They might be recipe-box-style meals, family favourites, or recipes from public websites.
Once saved, those recipes can be picked for any shop. Set the servings, generate the list, and reuse the same meal next time without rebuilding the ingredients.
Shopping anywhere
Generate the list yourself and choose where it goes
Basket List does not send ingredients. It gives you one organised shopping list built from your chosen recipes.
That list can go to Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, an online shop, or wherever suits the week.
How Basket List replaces the list-building part
It is intentionally simple: keep the recipes, make the list, shop where you like.
Save your repeat meals
Import public recipe URLs or enter recipes manually.
Pick the week
Choose the dinners you want from your saved cookbook.
Scale servings
Set each recipe for the right number of people.

Plan meals, shop anywhere
Try a reusable meal-planning workflow built around your recipes.
Start with a few dinners you already know you like.
