I would like to be able to take pictures of a couple of recipes from my cookbooks and make a shopping list for all the ingredients for those recipes.

This is practical since if I have three recipes and they all use broccoli, it’s nice to not have to look at each picture and confirm that you have purchased the correct amount of broccoli.

The compiled grocery list should add the broccolis together and show “3 broccolis”.

Surely such an app ought to exist?

I’m not really interested in apps that use online recipes or in-app recipes. I have cookbooks that I like, and the OCR tech nowadays should be plenty good enough to read the ingredients list very quickly and effectively.

I’m not aware of a closed-source app like this.
