Ingredient entry confusion

So, instead of being able to add all my ingredients as I buy them. I have to just put in the recipe first then the cost (within the recipe ) and depending on the recipe wording, some entries are gonna be entered twice or some will not calculate in other recipes because of wording. Example: in my ingredients list there is a prue vanilla entry and a vanilla entry (same product and cost) I added another recipe and it did not generate any cost or vanilla. I wish there was an option to enter your ingredients and total cost before adding my recipe and then the. Itโ€™s be calculated based on my measurements.

Response from developer

Hi Bella Thanks for the great feedback. You are correct, currently the app looks at the name of your ingredient in recipes to determine if they are the same and if the price should be shared. We are planning to add the ability to add nicknames to ingredients so that slightly different names can be recognised as the same ingredient. For now though you will need to use the same ingredient spelling in different recipes. As a workaround for wanting to enter all your ingredients first, you can create a "Master recipe" with all your ingredients, then set the price for those. Future recipes will then use the ingredient prices you have already entered for the master recipe. I hope that helps. Please reach out via our support page in the app if you are having other issues. We'll be happy to help you resolve it.

Helpful and efficient

I do not have a math brain and this app saved me so much time and effort. I love that when you use the same ingredient in a new recipe, the cost is already auto saved.

Very helpful app

I found this app to be quick and easy to use, unlike others I have tried

Love it simple and easy and complete

Loving the simplicity, it includes all costs and once costs are in recipe if same ingredient is used in another. The price automatically goes to the other recipe!
