Create a Grocery List

Grocery lists can be generated from selected recipes, imported from pasted text or a file, or created directly from the Grocery Lists page.

Create a grocery list from recipes

1. Open the Cooking Assistant.
2. Choose Create List from Recipes.
3. Select one or more recipe cards on the dashboard.
4. Choose Create from the selection bar.
5. Sparky Cooks generates a grocery list from the selected recipes.

Choose whether to create a new list or add the ingredients to an existing editable list. The saved list opens when the operation is complete.

Import an existing grocery list

Choose Import List from Lists or from an open list. Paste one item per line or select a .txt or .csv file, review the preview and possible duplicates, then create a new list or add the items to an existing one.

See Import a Grocery List for supported formats and limits.

Create an empty grocery list

1. Open the Lists dashboard tab or Manage > Lists.
2. Enter a list name.
3. Add an optional description.
4. Choose the create button.

Edit a grocery list

On the grocery list page, you can:

• Rename the list.
• Add, edit, reorder, check off, and delete grocery list items.
• Delete checked items.
• Duplicate the list.
• Share the list if you own it.
• See which recipes were used to create the list.
• Delete the list when you no longer need it.

Grocery lists are separate from recipe content, so changing a grocery list does not change the recipe.

Recently synced lists can be used offline. Changes sync when your connection is available again.
