I'm currently working on a shopping list feature to add to Web Recipe Manager. A shopping list can be generated from a meal plan, or it can be created by typing in a list of items. Shopping lists can be printed, saved or deleted. You can also select ingredients to be excluded from generated shopping lists (things like water, pepper salt, etc or things you always have on hand).
It's almost done, look out for it here.

It's finally up and running
Well it's only taken 12 months, but the Web Recipe Manager website is finally up and running. It was a great experience and learning curve for me. I've been in the IT industry since I started working, but not on the web side of things. I hope it doesn't show too much :)
The site was launched in October. Since then I've added a menu planner, and just yesterday a new page where a complete recipe can be added by copying and pasting. Then it's a simple matter of selecting and tagging the recipe parts (name, ingredients, directions, etc) by clicking the appropriate button, before adding the recipe. It can then be checked before saving. I know the tagging part may be a bit of a pain, but it really helps to ensure the recipe is interpreted correctly. Of course it's never going to be 100% accurate in all cases, as recipes can be very complicated, and everyone has their own way of presenting them.
I use Web Recipe Manager to manage my own collection of recipes, and I really like it, but that's not to say you will too. So please give me some feedback - good or bad - then I can ensure you enjoy using it as well.
