What do you think? …

@RBilgil I came across the site this AM and was struck by the idea, thinking - "why hasn't anyone thought of this before?" Why did you create Parsly?

Awesome. I had a few (expected, and totally fair) problems when I used it. First, I copied a recipe by pasting the entire contents of the page into the field, which worked pretty well but ended up capturing tons of extra stuff from the links of related recipes. Totally fair, as I didn't follow the instructions. Also, I used a simple Tater-Tot Hotdish recipe, which includes a bunch of things Tesco doesn't carry (maybe they don't even exist in the UK?) IE: instead of cream of mushroom soup I could choose cream or mushroom soup. Hovering over the option showed me the line in the recipe exactly as expected to let me make a decision. One ingredient was "carrots or peas" and it let me select on or the other, I couldn't see a way to add both. Love it. Sign me up for US version in any capacity—even if it just pushes the shopping list to my phone and I have to go to the store myself.

@RBilgil YW! Try something fun for the button like: "Try Nan's cookie recipe". (I'm an experience design guy, bear with me)

Hi all, Thanks for the post. We're based in the UK and want to make it super easy to get ingredients, so you can cook healthy food at home. We'd love more feedback on this! Do get in touch if you have any questions

@daveambrose Basically we think online grocery shopping kinda sucks at the moment, and going in store takes way too long! Goal is to remove one of the biggest barriers to cooking good food, which is time spent shopping and figuring out if you've got the right ingredients

Quick suggestion: allow me to add a pre-selected recipe to the demo to understand how it works. I don't have recipes lying around, and if I go to Google, I may never come back.

@munsonbh Hi, we're working on trying to integrate with recipes better. Meanwhile, try this link :) http://www.parsly.co.uk/recipes/...
