Turn recipes
into shopping lists

Turn recipes and meal plans into smart shopping lists in CookBook. Add ingredients automatically, merge similar items, include your regular groceries, then shop from a synced list across supported devices.

Shopping List

Build lists from recipes

Recipe shopping lists work best when they start from the recipes you plan to cook. CookBook sends ingredients from saved recipes or meal plans into a list so you do not have to rewrite everything by hand.

Recipe ingredients. Add recipe ingredients straight to a list when you are ready to shop.

Meal plan lists. Build a list from planned meals for the week ahead.

Extra items. Add staples, household items and anything else you need.

Check off as you shop. Mark items done, delete what you do not need and keep moving.

Organise

Merge and tidy ingredients

A useful grocery list should be easy to scan in the shop. CookBook helps tidy duplicate ingredients, group items, review quantities and keep extras like staples or household items in the same list.

AI merge. Combine duplicated or similar items where CookBook can safely match them.

Aisles and groups. Keep items grouped so the shop is easier to scan.

Edit quantities. Adjust amounts before you head out.

Sync and print. Use the list on your phone, export it or print a copy.

Instacart

Order groceries where supported

In the United States and Canada, eligible CookBook shopping lists can connect with Instacart where supported, helping you move from meal planning to grocery ordering faster.
