Convenient and straightforward
Thank you for this app!
Great for Echo Show 10
It is easy to make adjustments to a recipe with the edit options. One has to play around a bit to learn all the options. Once you figure it out it’s pretty easy to make changes.
I love that on the Show it does not automatically read each ingredient and step. You can ask it to but no waiting while it does.
This is well worth the cost per year.
Best Recipe App out there!
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! I made Sous Chef because I’m a cook and a coder and it works how I wanted a recipe app to work. So it won’t be changing anytime soon 😉 Unless it’s to add a feature you (the users) want 👍
All Recipes Disappeared
UPDATE: changed my rating to 5 stars. Grant has helped me fix the issue. Amazing customer service and such a time saving product. I use this instead of copying recipes onto index cards because it can import recipes directly from a blog post. I’ll be a lifetime customer. Thanks Grant!

Hello, We released a new version of the app which means you should just have to sign in again. Your recipes are definitely not gone they are in a secure database. Please email help@souschef.recipes if signing in doesn’t work. Sorry for the confusion! UPDATE: Have you had any luck getting signed in? I just helped someone who forgot she had originally logged in with a family member’s email address to share recipes. Please contact us if you still can’t find your recipes
Great, Simple App
Amazon should buy and perfect
I believe a lot of people want to use their own recipes or recipes they’ve saved. It would benefit Amazon to make this easy to do on their devices.
I added a recipe in your app using the camera on my phone, added the skill to Alexa, verified my Echo show device, and then asked Echo to ask Sous Chef to show me my recipe and it was there, ingredients on one side and instructions on the other. To close Sous Chef I just asked Echo to show me the Home Screen.
I added another recipe using my camera. Bam. Then I ran into trouble. I used the camera to add, but it wasn’t there. Tried another 3 recipes with the camera. Nope. I was able to add all 3 recipes manually but that’s an unnecessary hassle. Thus, I only gave this rating 4 stars.
My daughters can use the app in their homes and see my recipes. That’s a bonus. Another bonus is the shopping list feature but even cooler is when I’m wandering around the grocery store and decide to make crab cakes tonight, I can easily pull up my recipe on my phone to remember the ingredients.
I think Amazon could make this App their own, perfect it, and sell more Echo shows for kitchens across the country. I seriously considered returning mine but I was too lazy. What I didn’t do was recommend to anyone they buy a Show.

Hello, Thanks for the review, I too wanted to use my own recipes on Alexa devices which is exactly why I made Sous Chef in my free time. FYI I may have fixed the issue with the camera upload. If it doesn’t work again feel free to contact me directly at help@souschef.recipes Cheers, Grant
When recipe is open
Not working
Response from developer
Hello, The issue with the photo upload has been fixed, thank you for bringing that to our attention! The paste issue is with iOS 14. There is a workaround however. Click into the text box then tap with three fingers, a menu with a paste option should appear at the top of the screen. The app is in the middle of a complete rewrite now otherwise it would be fixed immediately. Thank you for your patience! Please contact help@souschef.recipes directly for help. Cheers, Grant Cheers,
Loved this little app until...
Response from developer
Hello, I’ll look into this right away and get back to you. Also what address did you try to contact us with and where did you see it? It should be help@souschef.recipes Thanks for the feedback! **UPDATE** I’ve confirmed the issue. Unfortunately I can’t update this version of the app because it’s using outdated technology. I am diligently working on a brand new totally rewritten version of the app that will fix this issue. Note that you can still paste but it’s finicky. After clicking in the text box try tapping on it with three fingers to reveal an edit menu at the top of the screen. Google iOS copy paste gestures for more information. Thank you for your patience!
Needs iPad version
<< 11 Sep 2020 >>. Developer contacted me to use a website for input, and a true iPad version is being worked on now. That link seems to work much better. This link should be in the app as well to help us input recipes from any device or desktop computer.

Thanks!
Response from developer
Hello, Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely look into iPad support. In the meantime for iPad or a desktop computer I’d recommend using our website: https://souschef.recipes/app/www/index.html That’s currently the best way to enter recipes with a full sized keyboard. Cheers, Grant
