Creating a groceries list

Problem/Motivation

I'd like generate a list of 7 random recipes (which is quite easy) and then have a list of ingredients to buy in order to make those 7 recipes. In other words, have groceries shopping list. Is it possible with this module?

    I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I can think of a couple of ways to potentially do this, but the usefulness of the list may vary. Both would depend on the Views module. You can build a view that just displays the list of ingredient entities. But that wouldn't contain any amounts from the recipes. You could build a view of recipe fields, then only display the ingredient field. You would have the amounts, but they wouldn't be sorted or combined from separate recipes.

    Thanks for your answer, @dcam.

    Actually, not combining the amounts of ingredients isn't really a big deal.

    I'll try to see what I can do by creating a View of recipe fields and display the ingredients field only.
    I think I already tried that but wasn't really sure about how to select only 7 random recipes, and not 7 ingredients.

    I've only used it once or twice, but I think that Views has a random sort. So do that, then set your pagination limit to 7.
