Inexperienced but wannabe food prepper here. A while ago I mentioned to some colleagues that I would like to find some websites that help with meal planning and the weekly shop. Basically a website that contains lots of recipes, I can decide what recipes I want to cook that week and then it collates all the ingredients from every recipe into one list.
So if I've got two recipes that require 500g potatoes each for example, then I can collate them on my list so I know I need 1kg potatoes across both recipes.
One colleague mentioned about a site called allrecipes.com which did just this. I've been using this site to find more recipes that I'd like to try out, but I must admit that I'm not familiar with how to collate all the recipes there into one big shopping list (advice on this would be appreciated)
The challenge I find with the site is that I'm based in the UK, the recipes on the site seem to measure everything via American (Imperial I wanna say?) system. So, I don't know whether it's possible to change the settings on this site to show the British (Metric?) system, or if there's other sites like this which are better suited to UK consumers?
I'd be interested to find out what sites other people (particularly fellow Brits) use. Thanks

Plan to Eat will do that. I haven’t done it, but just looked at the instructions and once you have your shopping list built (from recipes that you “plan” for that time period), you can check a box that will change your list item amounts and the recipes in your plan to metric.
I use Freezer Meals 101. It’s not free, but the annual subscription is reasonable. Choose the meals, save to a collection, gives me a shopping list and a prep list and labels to print.
