What the app does
- Recipes are grouped by category, from breakfast to drinks, and the search finds ingredients as well as names.
- Each recipe holds its time, servings, ingredients and numbered steps, and every part can be edited.
- A heart, or a swipe, keeps a recipe in Favourites.
- Tick a recipe's ingredients and they go on the shopping list under that recipe. Items added by hand go under Extras.
- Tick items off as you shop, then clear the ticked ones or the whole list.
- Everything stays on the iPhone, private to you.
