That was my favourite. I mentioned this on the live thread but nothing really gets seen on those. It needs to be subtly more complicated than simply clicking a recipe and have it order all the ingredients in one click. It needs to combine quantities across recipes; so if one recipe calls for 2 eggs, and another 3; it just adds 1 box of 6 eggs to the order; not 2 boxes of 6 eggs.
But more importantly, there are lots of ingredients in recipes that are "store cupboard staples" anyway; you don't want it ordering you a bottle of vegetable oil every time you click to buy a recipe that need 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil! Also needs to handle yield factoring which may or may not be entirely straight forward...
