When another app is the better buy
If you only want recipe ideas from a list of ingredients, Supercook is free. If you only want a shared shopping list, AnyList costs $9.99 a year. Plan to Eat is better at importing recipes from websites.
When MyOwnLarder is
You want the whole loop in one place: what’s in, what’s going off, what you can cook tonight, and one list for what’s missing, shared with everyone at home.
Getting started
Photograph one receipt and the week’s shop is in. Then one shelf at a time, when you open the fridge anyway.
