Notion Recipe Manager, Meal Planner, Shopping List Template V2.0

[@likanovaa]

Literally the best notion meal planner out there

[@ldap1594]

The most comprehensive and impressive Notion setup I have seen out of the many many dozen. Absolutely everything I wanted and then some!

[@janaandkai]

I just bought another creator's template for meal planning etc. but this is wayyyy better! Thanks for your hard work! Cooking and planning freaks me out, but with this detailed and thoughtful template i wont be overwhelmed anymore!

[@xhana_]

AMAZING ! The price you set for it is also very cheap honestly, for the quality of the template. It's definitely the best notion meal planner I've ever seen. A round of applause to you !

[@shorouksaziz]

Wow, Thank you so much! 🙏 Drop me a line if you ever need help or have any suggestions!

[@anovadonadecasa]

How do I buy it? I clicked on the link and it says it is unavailable for purchase.

This is THE best meal planner on Notion that I've found so far and by a mile. 😁👏👏👏 May I suggest that on the shopping list you can use a formula to copy the value of the planned meal that from the rollup that you use to filter the recipes on the planned meal and then (finally) rollup the formula on the ingredients to filter the shopping list with the already planned meals - that way you don't have to modify the list filter everytime you use it.

[@shorouksaziz]

Hey Rafael, Thanks so much for your kind words - they made my day! I'm thrilled that you find my Notion meal planner to be the best by far. 😁👏👏👏 I love your idea for the shopping list! By the way, I have a slightly modified version of the template that includes an automatically filtered shopping list based on the planned meals for the current week. If you're interested, shoot me an email at [e-mail]. Thanks again for your suggestion, and feel free to reach out if you have any other ideas or questions. Cheers!"

Hi, @@shorouksaziz I've just downloaded the template and I needed particularly this feature filtering groceries per date frames, but I dont see this filter is included in the template. Could you please advise how I can set it?

[@karencwilsonmarketing]

This is an incredible setup! I've shared with others and I would have paid quite a bit more for it. Thank you for your sharing this with us!

[@shorouksaziz]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it 🙏

[@doctoream8588]

incredible! this is exactly what i was looking for. just to know, is there any video that shows how to make something like this tenmplate right from the start? i would really like to learn how to use notion like this. thanks a lot!

[@nicksnotion]

Hey can you make a tutorial on how to make such a template like this. This template is awesome, thank you

[@Brittanyem]

Very nice, thank you for sharing!

[@Shimezu]

Hello Shorouk! Are you by chance planning on updating this template? I've been curious how you've changed your system with the various new notion updates! Thank you!

[@dinonsaveclouie]

Such an amazing work ! Thank you ! I bought it !

[@joramletlora8079]

Hey! Is there a way to change the language to Dutch in the template? I love it!!

[@chloemeier1622]

Hey, I'm not able to copy/paste from the Food column to the title one in the Ingredients table... any ideas why ?

[@leconodium]

Amazing template ! Thanks ! Could you please add chapters ? That would be great ! Thanks

[@torianne01]

I'm so glad I found this! I've been playing around with the template and getting familiar with it (and Notion), but one thing I was looking for was a shopping list that I can check off the ingredients as I'm shopping. Do you have any advice on how to create a copy of the shopping list like this, or would I have to do this manually by typing out the list? It's the only thing I'm looking for that would make this absolutely perfect! Thank you :)

[@amberlane1808]

How do you create the side food menu that is next to the database table?

[@asakosophia]

hi there, im wondering if the shopping list generates automatically from the recipes in the meal plan? or you need generate it by filtering all the meals you are making that week?

[@nama1243]

Omg this is the meal plan I wanted to make but I was struggle to name primary column in ingredients table, it make things redundant! Never know you can copy and paste a relation column, thank you so much for the tips!

[@shorouksaziz]

I know right! I really wish Notion can let us have the primary field in different data types and not just text this way it could just be the relation field! But anyway glad you found this helpful

@@shorouksaziz May I know how did you copy paste the column at timestamp 6:33?

[@shorouksaziz]

@@lealalau5883 select everything you wanna copy thdn hit ctrl/command + C then in the other column select the first cell and hit ctrl/command +v

[@lealalau5883]

@@shorouksaziz Thank you for your reply. I did the way as you instructed me above. But after pasting, it turned out to be some long links in the first cell.

[@lealalau5883]

@@shorouksaziz I tried many ways, but what was copied eventually is the URL, not the name of the link. In order to solve this problem, I tried downloading a notion APP on my Windows, instead of using the web. I tried my iPhone, and MacBook with different shortcuts... The problem is persistent. Pls help 😣 😣

[@ivanparadamarin1119]

hello, i have problems with the food stickers, how can i select one sticker to show in one ingredient in the food gallery?

[@riahlutv7739]

This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@shorouksaziz]

You're so welcome!

[@likanovaa]

Hey, I am trying to learn notion and I can not understand the logic behind the shopping list. I see there are groups, but I can't get it how you the author makes the amounts appear from different recipes. Anyone care to help?

[@papaulapa]

absolutely loved your video, could you explain how did you do the menu section in the food base? i'm new in this whole notion thing

[@shorouksaziz]

Thank you, Paula! I did write a blog post about how I do it check it out here blog.shorouk.dev/2021/07/3-ways-for-quick-and-smooth-navigation-in-notion/

[@EvaParish]

Hi Shorouk! I was wondering, do you have a workflow for moving a recipe from "to try" into your regular recipe database? And do you usually delete a recipe from "to try" once you've moved it over?

[@shorouksaziz]

Hi Eva! Yeah, So when I pick something from the "to try" to add in the meal planner. I mark it as "tried" and just write its name (don't acctually fill the recipe page), and each couole of weeks I go through those marked tried and either delete them or convert them then also delete them. I try not to keep more than 5 to 10 recipes there. Becsuse more than that I'm just collecting URLs and not acctually trying anything.

[@EvaParish]

Hi Shorouk, got it! That makes sense to convert them in batches every couple weeks. I do tend to collect a lot of recipes to try, but I've been loving the use of tags to sort through them and pick what to cook. Previously I used folders in the NYT cooking app, but now I can collect recipes from all different sources, which is exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!

[@shorouksaziz]

You're very welcome! Hope you can make the best of it

[@sandymakesplans]

unless there's an add on that helps with this, meal planning templates will be inferior to apps that scrape food brands so users can add what they eat when they buy prepackaged foods or dine out.

[@justtere]

This is terrific! I used to use a program that did almost all of this (your's is better) except for one thing. Maybe when you are bored, you can add store price comparisons, what the tax is, and if you have a coupon. The program I used to use priced itself out of my price range; I will get yours next month after I pay my gas bill. As for the store price comparison, I actually use an Excel sheet for that. When I moved to Massachusetts from Florida 18 years ago, I was surprised to see tax on food in MA, but not on clothes. It is the opposite in FL. This is a lovely set of templates, and I will be getting it. One question: how does Webclipper integrate with this. You mentioned it does, but didn't explain how. Outstanding work!!! 👏👏👏

[@shorouksaziz]

Hi Tere, Thank you so much you have no idea how much this motivates me🙏🙏🙏 I'll definitely think about the store price comparisons feature I think it'll be super helpful. About the Web clipper, so, when capturing recipes I wanna try I sometimes use it to add to the "Recipes to try" table. It makes it a bit easier when converting the tried recipe to go into the "Recipes" table since things like Instructions, notes etc... will be ready to just copy-paste. PS: send me an email at [e-mail] I have something for you!

[@MaaykeW]

First of all, LOVE this Notion template! Second of all, my curious ass just realllyy wants to know how you made all this, 'cause some things (like the menu on the left which controls the view on the right) I just can't seem to figure out! (but I totally get why you'd keep your secrets hehehhe) Edit: I just found out you have a blog with Notion content so I will definitely check that ou :)

[@shorouksaziz]

Hi There, Aww, thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊 As for the sidebar, I can understand the curiosity! I have a super secret link to a tutorial that shows exactly how to create it: blog.shorouk.dev/2021/07/3-ways-for-quick-and-smooth-navigation-in-notion/ And if you have any other Notion-related questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to help out a fellow Notion fan! 🤗 Take care,

[@MaaykeW]

@@shorouksaziz Thank you so much! I'll definitely check out the blogpost and give it a try :)

[@angela4608]

Amazing recipe manager! 😍 I wish I could create something as beautiful as you did:) just how did you connect the amount and units in the table element "final amount"? Until now I thought it was only possible to add two numbers to a formula. I'm also quite new to Notion though
