How do I add recipes and ingredients to my shopping list?

To add meals to your shopping list you need to go through the meal planner. 

In future plan we plan to incorporate a way to add recipes and ingredients straight to the shopping list without going via the meal planner, however this is not yet available.

Via all recipes

1. Navigate to the recipe you'd like to shop for
2. Underneath the recipe title, click the calendar icon that says 'PLAN'
3. Select the day you'd like to cook this meal and tap the tick button (if you do not want to plan your week just select any day)
4. Pick a meal slot
5. Add / Edit your planned meal - scale your servings and add any additional notes which you'd like displayed on the planner and shopping list.
6. Tap 'Save'
7. Do this for all other recipes which you'd like to shop for
8. Head into the 'Meal Planner' via either the home page or side menu
9. Tap the more icon in the top right hand corner
10. Tap 'Shopping Items'
11. On the dates button select the date range which you entered your meals into. Tap 'Set End' once selected. 
12. Add extra items as detailed below 
13. Tap 'Get grocery list'

Add extra items

1. If you would like to add any additional items to your shopping list i.e cleaning products, toilet paper etc. tap the 'add extra items' button.
2. This will open a pop up box where you can add/edit your custom items on your shopping list
3. If you would like the items so show under different headings such as 'Cleaning Products', simply add a colon : after the words and the shopping list will show it as a heading
4. Tap the 'SEE HELP' icon for help on how to format items and add headers.
5. Once you've added your items, tap 'Save items' and these will now display in your shopping list whenever you create one!
6. To clear your extra items go back into 'My extra items' and remove the products.

CookBook will automatically place your ingredients into aisles (to the best of its knowledge). If you wish to delete any items tap in the circle and they will display with a strike through, if you would like them to hide completely, tap on the eye icon in the top left corner.

In a future update we plan to add the ability to drag, drop and rename aisles.
