Why this exists
Copying ingredients from recipe pages gets old quickly
A single recipe is manageable. A week of dinners is where the manual work starts to drag.
Recipe tabs pile up
You end up flicking between browser tabs, notes, screenshots, and recipe cards just to work out what to buy.
Quantities need checking
Cooking for four instead of two means reworking amounts before the list is even useful.
Shared ingredients are easy to miss
Two recipes might both need onions, rice, or yoghurt. Basket List combines those into one line.
Recipe importer
Paste a recipe URL and keep control of what gets saved
Basket List can import public recipe URLs and prepare a cookbook-ready draft with the recipe details and ingredients. You can review the preview before saving, so the recipe stays useful rather than becoming a messy copied note.
Manual entry is still there for family recipes, cookbooks, or anything you want to add yourself. The important bit is that every saved recipe can then be reused in shopping lists.
Common use cases
Useful for weekly meals, recipe-box favourites, and household cooking
Planning the week
Save your regular dinners, pick what you are cooking this week, and turn them into one supermarket shop.
Keeping recipe-box favourites
Once you know the meals you like, save the recipe and shop the ingredients yourself.
Sharing the food shop
Everyone in your cookbook can use the same live shopping list and tick items off as they shop.
From recipe link to supermarket list
The workflow is built around the way people actually cook at home.
Save your favourite recipes
Paste a public recipe URL or add the recipe manually. Check the ingredients before saving it.
Pick what you are cooking
Choose several saved recipes for the week, a batch cook, or one specific shop.
Set servings
Adjust each recipe for the number of people eating it so the ingredient amounts stay useful.
Generate one shopping list
Basket List combines the ingredients into one organised list you can take to any supermarket.
