[Suggestion] Improvements to ingredient sorting

Open awwithro opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Love the tool so far. Some ideas from using it that would make it easier while cooking

  1. Option to sort ingredient list by step. Typical recipes will have ingredients sorted by the order that they are added to the recipe. This can make it easier to know where you are, what other ingredients you'll need soon, and make it less likely to miss an ingredient

  2. Recipe grouping Many recipes have some sort of sub-recipe with its own group of ingredients. Think a sauce/glaze/some other step that wouldn't function as a stand-alone recipe. Handy like the above option. Also useful when the same ingredient can appear in both groups. I've accidentally added too much of an ingredient in the moment in recipes where it is not clearly split apart

Completely agree! The language extensions available in the standard parser are a step in the right direction for both of these.

Also, the web UI has an option to include ingredient amounts in the recipe, which means the ingredients and amounts show up in order where you need them.
