Paprika's grocery list makes it easy to shop for your recipes. You can make multiple grocery lists, add entire recipes to your grocery list, as well as your own custom grocery items.

The grocery list will automatically attempt to consolidate similar items with one another. For example, if one recipe calls for 2 eggs, and another recipe calls for 3 eggs, the consolidated listing will display 5 eggs total.

Consolidated items will be displayed with a ⊕ symbol next to the quantity. Tap on the row in order to view the original items.

Adding Ingredients

Adding a Recipe to the Grocery List

To add an entire recipe to the grocery list, open the recipe and press the button in the toolbar.

An ingredients pane will pop up displaying that recipe's ingredient list. Here you can check/uncheck ingredients before they are added to the grocery list. If you have more than one grocery list, you can also choose which list to add them to.

(For example, if you already have salt at home, you can uncheck it before adding the recipe to the grocery list.)

Once you have the correct ingredients checked, press the Add button to add those ingredients to the grocery list.

Shortcut You can also add recipes to the grocery list from the main recipes listing, by tapping and holding on a recipe and selecting Add to Grocery List.

Adding a Custom Item to the Grocery List

Custom items can be added to the grocery list by typing them into the Add Item field at the top of the grocery list.

If you are adding a common grocery item, the aisle will be automatically selected for you as you type. You can also set a specific aisle yourself, and Paprika will remember and sync the new ingredient aisle.

Your current entry will also be autocompleted as you type: suggestions appear in a card under the field. You can tap on a suggestion to select it, or tap the list to close the suggestions.

Editing the Grocery List

Editing Grocery List Items

To edit a grocery list item, tap on the grocery item row to open the edit screen for that item.

From here you can edit the grocery item and change its aisle, notes, quantity, and list.

Removing Items from the Grocery List

You can remove individual items from the grocery list by swiping left across an item and then tapping the Delete button.

Finally, you can clear the entire list using the Clear Grocery List action described below.

Using the Grocery List

Marking Items as Purchased

Mark an item as purchased simply by tapping its checkbox. A checkmark will appear to indicate that the item has been purchased. You can mark the item as unpurchased by tapping it once more.

Filtering Grocery List Items

You can filter grocery items according to whether they are purchased or still to buy using the button in the toolbar. (When you are shopping you may find it easiest to select To Buy, to only show the unpurchased items left on your grocery list.)

You can also filter grocery items according to the recipe they belong to, or show only custom grocery items.

While you are showing only the items to buy, a line after the last item says how many purchased items are hidden, such as 12 purchased items hidden. Tap it to see those items, without changing your filter. Tap Clear to remove the purchased items from the list.

Searching the Grocery List

Use the search bar on the grocery list screen to quickly find an item in your list. The search matches item names and notes.

Sorting the Grocery List

By default, your grocery list will be sorted into aisles based on the type of ingredient. For example, milk will be placed into the Dairy aisle, and spinach will be placed under Produce.

If you prefer, you can change the grocery list to sort by recipe, by tapping the button in the toolbar and choosing Recipe under Sort By.

Managing Multiple Grocery Lists

Paprika starts with one grocery list named My Grocery List. This list cannot be deleted, but it can be renamed. You can add additional grocery lists if you would like.

Renaming a Grocery List

Open the list's options to rename it. On iPhone, choose Edit List Options from the list's menu; on iPad, tap the button at the bottom of the grocery lists column, then tap the info button next to the list. The Edit Grocery List screen lets you change the list's Name and its Reminders Export List, the name of the Reminders list to export to.
