Recipe Box

Save recipes with their ingredients, quantities and ordered method steps. Search the box by name, filter down to favourites and edit or delete anything you no longer cook. When you are ready to cook, select recipes to include in a combined shopping list and generate every ingredient you need in one place. Everything is stored in this browser with localStorage, so there is no account, no server sync and nothing shared with anyone else.

1. Write it down

Name the recipe, note the servings and prep time, then list each ingredient with its quantity and unit.

2. Order the method

Add method steps in cooking order and move them up or down until the sequence reads the way you cook it.

3. Find it fast

Search by name as you type, star the keepers and switch on Favourite only to narrow the list.

4. Shop the list

Select recipes and generate one combined shopping list of every ingredient, with matching quantities added together.

How many people the quantities below serve.

Hands-on minutes before cooking starts, for example 20.

Optional. Separate tags with commas. Up to 12 tags, each 24 characters or fewer.

Ingredients

Give each ingredient a name and, where it matters, a quantity and unit such as 200 g. Add as many rows as you need.

Method

Write the steps in the order you cook them. Use the arrows to reorder a step or the bin to delete it.

Shopping List

Tick the recipes you are cooking and generate one combined shopping list. Ingredients with the same name and unit are added together, so two recipes needing 200 g of flour become a single line. The selection and the generated list are kept in this browser with localStorage.

Select recipes

Choose any number of saved recipes. Nothing is generated until you choose Generate shopping list.

No recipes saved yet

There is nothing to shop for until you save a recipe with its ingredients. Recipe Box starts empty on purpose.
