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.

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.

(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 right-clicking 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 clicking the Add Grocery Item bar above the list and typing in the item.

If you are adding a common grocery item, the aisle will be automatically selected for you when you are done. You can also right-click on the item to set a specific aisle.

Shortcut You can paste multiple lines of text into the add field to create several grocery items at once — handy for copying a list out of an email or note.

Editing the Grocery List

Editing Grocery List Items

To edit a grocery list item, double-click on it. You can also right-click on the item if you want to change its aisle.

Removing Items from the Grocery List

You can remove individual items from the grocery list by highlighting them and pressing the Delete button on your keyboard. You can also right-click on an item and select Delete.

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 clicking within the checkbox. A checkmark will appear to indicate that the item has been purchased. You can mark the item as unpurchased by clicking it once more.

Filtering Grocery List Items

You can filter grocery items according to whether they are purchased or still to buy using the Filters control in the toolbar.

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

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 clicking the button in the toolbar and choosing Recipe instead.

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.

All of your grocery lists are displayed in the Grocery Lists pane on the left. Click on a grocery list to select it.

Renaming a Grocery List
