Turn a video recipe into a grocery list in one minute
From the video to the cart: how to go from an Instagram recipe to a grocery list sorted by aisle, without forgetting half the ingredients.
The trap of shopping from memory
You remember the pasta and the parmesan. You forget the cream, the tomato paste and the shallot. Back home, the one ingredient that makes the recipe is always missing.
Group by aisle, not by recipe
A good grocery list follows the path of the store: produce, dairy, pantry, frozen. When you're cooking three recipes, ingredients need to merge: two onions here, one onion there, that's three onions on a single line.
- Produce
- Dairy and fresh
- Meat and fish
- Pantry, savory and sweet
- Drinks and misc
What Mezze does for you
Every imported recipe has structured ingredients. One tap on "Add to groceries" and they join the Grocery tab, added up and sorted by aisle. You check off what you already have. The list shares with someone else as a link.
