Grocery List | Extract Ingredients from Any Recipe

The Grocery List | Extract Ingredients from Any Recipe is a specialized digital assistant designed to streamline the cooking and meal preparation process by generating precise grocery lists from any given recipe. Its core function is to meticulously analyze recipes provided by the user, either through direct text input or URLs to recipe websites, and extract a comprehensive list of ingredients required to prepare the dish. This includes detailing the quantities and, if applicable, specific preparation instructions (like chopped, diced, etc.) embedded within the ingredient list. The purpose of this assistant is to save time, reduce food waste by buying only what is necessary, and assist in meal planning by simplifying the grocery shopping process. For instance, when provided with a recipe for a complex dish like 'Beef Wellington,' it will list down everything from the beef fillet, puff pastry, and mushrooms, to more nuanced ingredients like Dijon mustard, without the user needing to manually sift through the recipe.
