Make any recipe fit the way you cook. Import a recipe from a link or pasted text, then ask Sous Chef for the change you need—make it vegetarian, scale the servings, swap an ingredient, or adjust the method. Sous Chef updates the working recipe itself, shows what changed, and keeps the original intact. Cook from a clean, structured recipe with ingredients, steps, notes, timers, and measurement controls. Save private recipes to your library and return to them whenever you cook. Why Sous Chef: • Import recipes from links or pasted text • Request changes in plain language • Review validated ingredient and step edits • Keep the original recipe untouched • Cook from a focused, ad-free layout • Use the core app without creating an account Recipe suggestions and edits may contain mistakes. Check allergens, dietary restrictions, cooking temperatures, and food-safety guidance before serving.
