Convenient and straightforward
I love a lot of things about this app. You can easily organize recipes with tags and all different categories to make your time in the kitchen easier. 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!

Great for Echo Show 10
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.

Best Recipe App out there!
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!
All Recipes Disappeared
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!

Great, Simple App
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.
Amazon should buy and perfect
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.

When recipe is open
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.

Not working
Can’t get the app to pull photos from my saved photos or paste a website. May be outdated with iOS 14.
Loved this little app until...
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.
Needs iPad version
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.

Best Recipe App!
After trying several apps that would store my favorite recipes and work with my amazon echo show, I stumbled upon this and couldn’t be happier! Every other app I tried had bugs when working with amazon products but this works perfectly! I am able to add recipes from websites to my collection seamlessly just by copying and pasting the url of the site that contains the recipe. Where this app really shines is when I tell my echo show to display a recipe I’ve saved. I can view the ingredients and steps as split screen and I can have the steps even read to me if I choose. This makes cooking a breeze and so much more enjoyable! I highly recommend this!!!

Will not send email to set up account
App will not send an email so I cannot set up an account to link to Alexa. Frustrating.
What’s the point?
This app is to terrible at converting recipes over from a website that I don’t see the point. You might as well use your smart phone than waste your time. You can’t insert ingredients and steps in where you want, so fixing the data that it missed is extra frustrating.
Alexa recipe app that works!
This is the only app that flows well to help me navigate recipes by voice via Alexa. I’m a longtime devotee of Paprika recipe manager, but I’ve added this second app to use when my hands are messy in the kitchen.
The best decision I ever made
I spent so much time trying to find a way to get my Alexa to read out recipes that could not found be found on partner websites and had given up when I saw a post from the developer and figured I had nothing to lose.
I went in with zero expectations and was completely FLOORED. It’s a small learning curve, but even my technology illiterate mother learnt how to use it in. In 15 minutes she had uploaded a recipe passed on to her from her grandmother and had Alexa reading it out to her. I cannot rave about this enough!

Allows you to put your own recipes in to use in google assistant
Works quite well, gets my Lenovo smart display/google assistant to do what it should be able to do out the box
Importing or entering recipes is a breeze

Simple and connect with Alexa
Simple and straightforward app that connects with Alexa. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Formatting for iPhone XR
The formatting of the app on my iPhone XR doesn’t fit the screen well. I have a difficult time clicking on the icons at the top of the screen which makes the app very difficult to use. If this issue gets fixed I will probably use it, but for now it’s just frustrating.
Love it so far!
Love the app! Just started uploading recipes, and can’t wait to use it with my Alexa show!
Surprise Subscription
Surprise! You must buy subscription to have more than 3 recipes! Impossible to evaluate the 3-recipe free version of this app as a 3-recipe cook book is pretty useless.
