    Grocery List

    Hi there.  New to Big Oven and just made a list of items from multiple recipes.  A couple suggestions...

    There should be a choice to ADD ANOTHER RECIPE or be able to add multiple recipes from the Try Soon section to your shopping list.

     When you do add multiple recipes, the shopping list should combine the same ingrediants such as if two recipes added to the shopping cart needed eggs, they should be added together not listed twice.

     

    That's all the input I have otherwise I really like the site and the recipes.  thanks you and happy cooking.

    Not sure I understand -- In the shopping list view, there is already a way to select another recipe -- click the Recipe... button. 

    I believe the shopping list should combine items if they have exactly the same prepnotes and ingredient names.  By design, it does not coaelesce ingredients together if prepnotes are different. 

    Thanks!

     Thank you for your quick response.  I did not realize it was a holding area and that you had to ADD again to the actual list by using the 'plus' + sign located to the left of each item.  Once I did that it created a new list and combined similar ingredients.  Thanks again for your quick support and response.

     Thanks, yes, that's by design -- the "pending" or "holding area" is used to look through and see which ingredients you may already have on hand.  We should make this clearer in the design -- thanks for the feedback!
