Recipe Shopping List Creator

For some, cooking is an undesirable activity necessitated by the laws of nature and the rules of scarcity. Worse yet, the act of cooking is preceded by the preparation as to what to cook and a subsequent trip to the grocery store. Preparation for the grocery store trip involves perhaps the most distasteful act of the whole process: choosing recipes and rereading each over and over while trying to determine if the required ingredients are in stock or need to be purchased.

The Recipe Shopping List Creator is meant to make easier the preparation for the trip to the grocery store. The user can choose from a list of previously entered recipes, enter a new recipe, or import a recipe from AllRecipes.com. Once the recipes to make have been chosen, one click will aggregate the ingredients into an easily readable list. The program will even add amounts of the same ingredients together. After making the shopping list, printing and going to the grocery store are all that stand in the way of practicing to become the next Emeril.
