Recipe Scaler + Shopping List
Cooking for two tonight? Feeding ten on Sunday? Pick a recipe, set your servings, and get a clean shopping list you can take straight to the store.
Amounts you can actually measure
Scale a recipe and the amounts come out the way a cook would write them — 1 ½ tablespoons, ¾ cup, a pinch of salt. No long strings of decimals to squint at, and every recipe on the site works with the tool, so the amounts stay true to the dish whether you're cooking for two or for twelve.
Try it out
Scale a sample lentil stew or grain bowl from 4 servings to 8 and watch the shopping list pull vegetables, legumes, spices, and pantry staples into one tidy grocery run.

Why not just do the math yourself?
You could — but doubling a recipe isn't just multiplying by two and hoping for the best. You want amounts that still make sense in a real kitchen, ingredient groups that still match the steps, and a shopping list where you don't have to hunt through the whole recipe to figure out how many onions you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with every recipe on the site?
Yes — every recipe on Vegan Hacks works with the tool, so you can change the servings on any of them.
Will I end up with awkward amounts?
Nope. You'll get familiar kitchen amounts — things like 1 ½ tbsp or ¾ cup — so you can measure with the spoons and cups you already have.
How does the shopping list work?
It gathers the same ingredient from every part of the recipe, adds the amounts together, and sorts everything into sections like produce, protein, plant milks, herbs, spices, and pantry.
Can I send the scaled recipe to someone?
Yes. Just copy the page link — it saves your recipe choice and servings, so whoever opens the link sees exactly what you see.
How accurate is the shopping list?
Very accurate for weights and volumes. For things like 'one medium onion', it's still an estimate — onions at the market don't come in standard sizes.
Can I use it for recipes from other sites?
Not right now. The tool is made for the recipes here, so the amounts stay true to how they were written. Recipes from other sites come in too many shapes and sizes to scale them properly.
