Shopping list: how it works

Generate a shopping list from your recipes and understand what gets included.

Shopping list: how it works

Zavora can generate a shopping list by aggregating ingredients from one or more recipes. The goal is to help you go from β€œwhat are we cooking?” to β€œwhat do we need to buy?” in a single flow.

Key ideas

  • A shopping list is built from recipe ingredients.
  • When multiple recipes are selected, ingredients can be combined into a single list.
  • Optional items may be handled differently depending on your settings (hide by default, or include).

Best results

Shopping lists work best when ingredients are written consistently (amount + unit + ingredient).
