Importing Recipes

Three ways to import recipes#

Import from a URL#

1. Find a recipe on any website.
2. In SousChef, tap the + button on the Recipes tab.
3. Choose Import from URL and paste the link.
4. Sous reads the page and creates a structured recipe with ingredients, steps, and a photo.

This works with most recipe websites. If a site doesn't work well, try the Share Extension instead.

Import from photos#

1. Tap + > Import from Photos.
2. Take photos of your cookbook pages, or select images from your camera roll.
3. You can photograph multiple pages -- Sous will combine them into a single recipe.
4. Sous reads the text from the images and creates a full recipe.

This is perfect for getting your favourite cookbook recipes into the app.

Share Extension (from Safari or other apps)#

1. Open a recipe in Safari or another browser.
2. Tap the Share button.
3. Select SousChef from the share sheet.
4. The recipe will be imported and added to your collection.

The Share Extension works from any app that can share a URL -- not just Safari.

After importing#

Once imported, you can edit any part of the recipe: title, ingredients, steps, servings, and more. Sous also generates an AI photo if the original recipe didn't have one.
