Your personal recipe assistant. Import recipes from your favorite cooking websites and customize them. This app is for the home cook that uses the internet as their primary recipe source. Sous Chef Recipes allows you to easily copy recipes from any online source, from popular websites to personal blogs. You'll be able to tweak recipes to your liking so you remember your personal touches the next time you make your favorite dish. Now you can even import recipes with your camera! Capture your favorite recipes from your cookbooks so you always have them with you wherever you go. If you have an Amazon Alexa device you can also interact with your recipes using your voice. When your hands are messy and you don't want to touch your phone you can just ask to get ingredient amounts or recipe instructions. Look for the Sous Chef Recipe skill in the Amazon Alexa app. Add your first ten recipes for free then subscribe ($0.99 USD/year) to add unlimited recipes. Note that we do not guarantee access to any particular website since some recipe websites require membership and/or subscriptions. To load recipes from certain sites you will need to procure access independently of this app. Sous Chef Recipes Unlimited subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription year.

You can also email it through the app or print it off if you’d like. The only thing that I would like to make a suggestion of is that, when printing a recipe, it could use some aesthetic upgrades (layouts and image scaling). However, it’s not really that important. What matters is that the information that you want can be accessed so easily. Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — Great for Echo Show 10 *2021-02-28, version 4.0.0* I have my recipes in Paprika which does not have an app for Echo. This app provides an excellent workaround. I can use the source website, which Paprika automatically saves, to import the recipe. This is the easiest and most efficient way to save the recipes to Sous Chef. If I do not have a source website, I can copy and paste the recipe or import multiple recipes (look at the hammer) as text. The AI does an amazing job in sorting the ingredients and directions. 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. ### 5/5 — Best Recipe App out there! *2021-01-27, version 4.0.0* I’ve tried countless recipe apps over the years but this is by far the best. It is so easy to import recipes from websites or even photos. Easy to edit, easy to create shopping lists, and it works well with echo show. I love this please don’t change it! ### 5/5 — All Recipes Disappeared *2021-01-10, version 4.0.0* This app has been great for many months! This morning I opened the app to find all my recipes are gone! I’ve come to heavilyRely on this app. I can’t find a fix for this issue online. I’m so sad I lost all the recipes I saved. Some were family recipes I have no way of getting back 🥺 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! ### 5/5 — Great, Simple App *2020-11-26, version 3.3.5* Great work keeping it simple and focusing on getting cross platform connectivity working right. I also love that I can export my recipes for backup “just in case.” And the emails all come from Hal9000@... 😂😎 icing on the cake. ### 4/5 — Amazon should buy and perfect *2020-11-22, version 3.3.5* I’ve had my show for about 3 years and I’ve been frustrated that I couldn’t use it for my own recipes. I have tried, multiple times, to view my recipes from my Allrecipes account but it never works. 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. ### 4/5 — When recipe is open *2020-10-24, version 3.3.5* This is great to use your own recipes with Show 5. When the recipe is open, Alexa can’t be used for anything else like setting a timer or converting measures. The links to directions are broken, so other than ‘Alexa, tell Sous chef to open ...recipe’, I can’t use the functionality and have to use the touch screen to close the recipe. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-10-08, version 3.3.5* Can’t get the app to pull photos from my saved photos or paste a website. May be outdated with iOS 14. ### 2/5 — Loved this little app until... *2020-09-24, version 3.3.5* Updated my IOS yesterday to 14 and I can no longer paste to the URL bar to import recipes from the web. Also the address for contact is incorrect. ### 3/5 — Needs iPad version *2020-09-11, version 3.3.5* First thing I saw after I installed and launched this on my iPad Pro with keyboard... a sideways screen. How do you expect us to enter recipes this way? Use my phone instead? << 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. https://souschef.recipes/app/www/index.html Thanks! ## Frequently asked questions about Sous Chef Recipes ### How many recipes can I add to Sous Chef for free?

Although people have been asking about how they can support us so this might make some people happy, we appreciate it! ### 4.0.6 — 2021-03-29 Improvements to the recipe import including support for amp urls. Also patching a hole in the subscription process that was allowing more than ten recipes without a subscription. Please contact help@souschef.recipes if you have any issues with the Sous Chef app, thanks! ### 4.0.0 — 2020-12-31 Our biggest release since we launched! Even though the code underneath is all new you won't be lost because the general structure of the app is very similar to previous versions. That being said this release also contains many quality of life changes that we've accumulated from user suggestions. There are also bonus features in there too like support for "Dark" mode and improved iPad support. Most importantly the paste bug in iOS 14 has been resolved! With so many changes there will likely be bugs, if you stumble across one please contact help@souschef.recipes and let us know, thanks! ## Apps similar to Sous Chef Recipes | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Sous Vide Recipes by Dario](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sous-vide-recipes-by-dario/id1429137802) | 3.5 (199) | Free | Food & Drink | | [Cookmate - My Recipe Organizer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cookmate-my-recipe-organizer/id1587685734) | 4.8 (264) | Free | Food & Drink | | [HomeCooked Recipes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/homecooked-recipes/id1526071006) | 4.1 (8) | Free | Food & Drink | | [The Sous Chef Lite: Recipes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-sous-chef-lite-recipes/id6447581300) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Food & Drink | | [Souschef \| Recipe Keeper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/souschef-recipe-keeper/id6468939420) | 4.7 (77) | Free | Food & Drink | | [Delicio: AI Chef, Food Recipes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/delicio-ai-chef-food-recipes/id6445913119) | 3.7 (43) | Free | Food & Drink | ## Related topics [sous chef recipes](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sous-chef-recipes) · [backwardse llc](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/backwardse-llc) · [sous chef](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sous-chef) · [soul chef](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/soul-chef) · [souscheff](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/souscheff) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
