Have you even gone to the store to buy certain items for a recipe only to get home to find you forgot one key ingredient? For me, it takes all the fun out of cooking. I don’t like to make a list before I go, or print off a copy of the recipe. I’m certainly not going to carry a cookbook with me to the store. But now there is a solution.
