You can have many recipes which share ingredients. The join table for both would be: ingredients_recipes ingredient_id, recipe_id You could add an id primary key in there, also, as it might come in handy. It's not required, though. As for IngredientList, I'm not sure I've never thought much about doing this with Cake. I guess you could put the amount info, etc. in the ingredients_recipes join table but I'm not sure that'd be the best way.
