Most cooking software stops at letting you organize your recipes. SousChef helps you cook, start to finish. Find a recipe, cook it, modify it and share it with friends & familyŃall in one application.


Tap the Cloud.
SousChef uses a cloud database made up of all our users' recipes. Every time a user enters a recipe it is submitted to the database and is instantly available for you to find and cook!

Have a secret family recipe you donŐt want to share? SousChef lets you opt-out of sharing recipes.

WhatŐs in your Fridge?
Find recipes based on what you have in your refrigerator. SousChef searches for recipes based on multiple ingredients and ranks them according to how many of each recipeŐs ingredients you have. No more searching through hundreds of recipes to find one that you can make without a special trip to the store.

Shop for ingredients.

The grocery list function allows you to create a shopping list based on the contents of a particular recipe (or multiple recipes). Recipes can be dragged-and-dropped into the Grocery Lists collection in the left sidebar. Clicking "Create Grocery List" from the Recipe menu will also turn the recipe's ingredients into a list. Lists can be customized, named, and altered. You can also create a list from scratch without using a recipe's ingredients - simply go to File and click "New Grocery List." Click on the text (to the right) that says "Click to add an item," and start listing.

Cook with your computer.
It doesnŐt make any sense to print out a recipe every time you want to cook, so SousChef includes a ten foot mode so you can place your computer somewhere safe but still read your recipes from across the room. Ten foot mode features a high contrast fullscreen display with smooth transitions and only the info you need to know. While in ten foot mode SousChef can read your recipes to you and can be controlled via speech or a remote*.

*SousChef supports the Apple Remote and Keyspan Front Row Remote.

Substitute with ease.
Ever find a recipe that calls for Bok Choy and you happen to be all out this week? Wonder what you can substitute for it? SousChef lets you substitute ingredients for each-other on the fly based on accepted substitutions.

Blog it. Email it. Share it.
Want to blog about that recipe you cooked last night? SousChef integrates with blogging software to let you blog your favorite recipes in style. Need to email that secret family candy recipe to your brother? Not a problem.

Import.
Ever find a recipe on the web youŐd like to save? Our import tool makes it easy, maybe even fun! Just drag a box over each area of the recipe that SousChef hasnŐt already identified and then click the correct label. Many recipes can be imported in ten clicks or less!
