hi you! ✨ welcome to my little nook where i share sustainable style, travel + authentic lifestyle content. my name is katherine and i'm a digital nomad who lives everywhere and nowhere. i'm into productivity, organization, thrifting, fashion, sustainability, and photography.
I’m only adding a comment because you asked. I love that you’ve added a template but I don’t like using templates I like to build them myself so showing how you made the rollup was great but a step by step on how to build the template/database would’ve been amazing for me personally. Still a great video though.
Hey, small catch here. Whenever you add a whole new recipe you need to be careful with the ingredient names to be matching with rest of your recipes(the standardisation) ex: if its “cereals” then while creating a new recipe it cant be “brand name” make sure it is standard for all or else, it will break the subtotal
I was wondering about this. Seems it's the only limitation with the template. If you have 5 meals that need bell pepper, the shopping list will list 5 entries of bell pepper. We need notion to somehow add these up and put them into the shopping list as 1 line item but calculate the quantity
@@kinngyy ok im glad im not the only one w this issue, i thought I may have done something wrong tho and that there was an easy fix. Im sure there is some way to fix it but i am not good enough at notion to know ahaha. I have so many repeat ingredients because I really use a lot of the same things like cilantro in everything
Just recently come across Notion looking for a one size fits all to replace Trello, Evernote, OneNote etc. etc. I love the idea of the dashboard you have and it seems to do everything I would like. Trying the recipes to start with! Thank you for such an inspiring video:)
I tried to make something similar to this today but couldn't get my head around how the linked databases would work. This is absolutely fantastic and I thank you for providing the template for free. It's going to save me and my partner a lot of time once we have populated it! Thanks so much 🙏
I'm looking for a meal plan app and found this instead which is amazing because I don't like keeping track of multiple apps. I might also do my expense tracker similar to this. I haven't explored notion yet but hopefully i can export the table to excel
After getting frustrated with the Related To ingredients on the Recipe not updating, I realized that it was linking back to the template ingredients instance on your instance, rather than mine. Something odd with the import. I deleted the linkage and recreated it and now it works. I also had to update the part of the template that says to filter ingredients to just that recipe. Seems to be great now!
Firstly thank you for this, it's something I was struggling to recreate. I do have a few questions. It all makes sense, but the swappable terms grocery list (add to grocery list) and shopping list (left hand menu) are confusing me. Also you have a duplicate of the required ingredients in the recipe template and you say fill in the ingredient list then drag it into a database, but I dont know how to and this is not demonstrated in this video. 1 more thing, the shopping list has a few things combined (Meat + Dairy) but my supermarket does not have these two areas combined. I would like to edit this list to reflect more of what my shops have in the way of aisle layout but cannot see a way how to do this. Don't get me wrong, not intended as criticism in anyway, I just need a little help understanding. Thank you
thank you so much for this template I am loving using it so far, I am populating it for the first week of meal planning I willl do to save money and be healthier. I was hoping you would have insight on how to use the schedule option if I want to schedule a meal for a few different days
I have another issue that I canot figure out, when I add Ingredients directly into the property they show up on my master shopping list, but when I put them into the table of ingredients under each recipe they do not show up for me under my shopping list
Hello Kat! I just found this template and I have met an issue >< when making a new recipe and adding the items to the related ingredients tab they do not synk with the table inside the recipe. Do you have a suggestion on how to fix that? I am still very new to notion ^^'
If I’m understanding correctly on what you mean by them not syncing, my suggestion is to check the ingredient table filter on the specific recipe! Make sure the filter denotes that the ingredient must contain the recipe name it’s connected to.
@@katjohnstonl thank you! My problem is then that I have multiple items in the same recipes so I have to hide the recipes that are not the one I want on the meal. Example: For the recipe for Cajupanerad kyckling (sorry they are in swedish), I also get the 17 meals that have similar ingredients, even if it is just tomatoes or something like that. I did not notice this in your video and for now I have simply hidden the other recipes. I am sorry if that is confusing ^^'
This is so impressive. I just started checking out notion and was looking for a practical project for the family. Had the good luck to stumble across your video. Thanks for making the template free and available. Question: at 11:45, the table shows specific amounts and units of ingredients, but it doesn't show up in the template for me. Did you make a change or am I doing this wrong? Finally, I'm a tad confused on the 3 different locations for ingredients, but I think I may be seeing that it just comes down to personal preference. Thank you for this. Well done!
Found and watched your video in the hopes of figuring out how to auto-clear the shopping list once everything is bought, but looks like you too are on the lookout for this solution. With the new automation feature I think it might be possible, but Notion's free plan, has no automations. Maybe a sophisticated formula could do the trick. 🤔
I have been trying to be more mindful about my meal planning and got so overwhelmed trying to write everything down and keep it organized. this is going to help so much!! I'm so excited, thank you for sharing 😊
When adding a new recipe, how do you update the 'Related to Ingredients (Recipe)' property? Should this just update automatically from the list of ingredients you add to the Ingredient table at the very bottom of the Recipe page? Or do you have to update both of these?
After getting frustrated with the same issue, I realized that it was linking back to the template ingredients instance on her instance, rather than mine. Something odd with the import. I deleted the linkage and recreated it and now it works. I also had to update the part of the template that says to filter ingredients to just that recipe.
@@katjohnstonl love that. Hey, i was having an issue creating a roll up and linking it to my recipes. Was there something special you did to your recipes or ingredients database? Or was in link to the recipes page? That's the only part i'm stuck on
Possibly 10 years ahead of your time you will go far. Thanks for the template, i will definitely be doing this, ive been using a spreadsheet version of this, however it's just not as nice and its hard to get the wife on board!
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! I was looking for a Notion Template for Meal Planning and planned to watch a couple of RU-vid videos to find a way that fits me. But yours is the best! It's like reading my thoughts before they come to my mind. Wow! Thank you so much! And it's free! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this!! It is very useful! I have a question, in the shopping list, how do I avoid having duplicate ingredients show up? Is there a way to filter out duplicates? For example if I have salt in my weekly staples, but then I also add a recipe with salt into the shopping list. How can I avoid having it show up twice? Can I somehow link the ingredient?
Thanks for this! Really wish you elaborated on how to create the advanced filters and synchronicity between your Recipes Boards and Shopping & Pantry List... Like how do you get the queued list to populate after checking the add to grocery list checkbox in your recipe board!! Ahhh
I created a 'Relation' property between the recipe database and ingredient database first. Then on my shopping list, I created a rule so that any ingredient that was related to a recipe with 'Add to Grocery List' checked, would populate in the shopping list. It's hard to explain and show, so that's why the free template is helpful because those relationships are pre-made for you 😊
This template is crazy, I just finished setting up and used for the first time for the shopping list and it is CRAZY 🤯. I was searching exactly for something like that, Thank you !
1 year later here. Question, how do you deal with quantities? Two different recipes have onions. How does this handle that? I have seen my wife struggle to manually pull this stuff together. We built something similar but couldn’t connect the databases. Now I get to modify what we did to automate it just like yours. Thanks! It’s funny because we have it by aisle as well and even by store.

this is the sweetest thing of you to make this available to people for free and to have put so much time and effort into making something so ingeniously organised and set up !! instant follow and i'm gonna check out your other templates as well bc this is amazing
I am still confused on how to add recipes: When I add ingredients there is the database table and a stand-alone ingridients list right? Could I just delete the stand-alone one and only add my ingredients in the table?
love the videos. Just a quick question about spotify playlist or any widget or youtube video you add to your dashboard. Once you click on any link or page and it opens.. that widget or link stops playing the music right? any way around that so that the music is playing while you are working and creating? thanks :)
This Recipe Template is so thought through and awesome! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I am a bit overwhelmed with all the options etc. but i will get there haha and that is why its called "Advanced" I guess.
Hi Kat. Awesome notion page and thanks for sharing! I see the "Got it" and the "Added to grocery list" checkmarks in the ingredients table. Does the "Checked" checkmark property serve a purpose? I cannot seem to track down where it's being referenced anywhere.
Unfortunately you'd need to create a duplicate recipe for that to happen! Or if you're eating a specific meal over consecutive days, I would toggle the "End date" on the date property to have it span across multiple days in a week.
Hey Kat! this is amazing thanks! I have a questions tho, lets say im making a carrot cake, a carrot soup and a carrot pie.. whenever i add them, its adding 3 inputs of carrots.. im wondering if there is a possibily to add them together... (ie choosing the ingredient from a list and selecting the amount (either in weight or in numbers?))..
I think what you're asking is if the system can recognize that there are multiple carrots on your ingredient list and to add them together to create one single carrot item. If that's your question, then sadly no that can't happen with this template. It will show three separate instances of carrot on your shopping list and it was a bit complicated to try to get the database to perform this function. I'm sure with some research and tweaking someone could make a version of it that does this!
Hi, I really like this. I have a question because I'm trying to build my own template for my own unique needs. When I embed the ingredients database in my recipe card I get all of the ingredients in the entire database. How do I set it so I only get the ones that are required for the recipe to display? Thanks in advance for your help!
A filter will help with this: create a filter by clicking the dots on the right hand corner of the ingredient database so that it only shows ingredients where the recipe contains the name of the current recipe page. If you use my "New Recipe" pre-made template, it should automatically create this filter for you!
Hi Kat, Thanks so much for this template. Everything is working great for me except for one issue. When I duplicate the ingredients list then copy and drag to the database it does not populate it as a list but is a page in the first line of the database. so I can't go in and assign an aisle to it. Are you able to explain this a bit more? Thanks
Hmm that's a bit strange. Is the initial list of ingredients in bullet point /checkmark form with line breaks between them? If they are all on one line or don't have some sort of formatting breaking them up, the database may be recognizing them as one single item.
I do copy-paste from the original recipe into the ingredients database but sadly it does require some manual intervention to ensure I add the correct aisle and other relevant properties to each ingredient.
