From paper and photos
Scan grandma’s recipe card
The oil-stained cards, the notebook full of “a little of this”, the pages torn from magazines: photograph them and SousChef turns them into recipes you can read, cook and keep.
No card. Works without an account too.
How it works
-
Take a photo
One or more pages, handwritten or printed, from your phone or from a file.
-
Check the draft
Smart import reads ingredients, quantities and steps and gives you a draft. You correct it before you save it.
-
Cook
The recipe joins your book, with adjustable servings, step-by-step cooking and printing.
Why do it now
-
Paper wears out
A photo keeps the recipe even when the ink fades. The original image stays next to the recipe.
-
“A little” becomes grams
Quantities are metric. Anything unknown stays “to taste” and is never guessed.
-
Versions stay together
Mum’s and auntie’s versions live as variations of the same recipe, not as two copies.
FAQ
Does it read handwriting?
Yes, in most cases. Hard-to-read parts are shown for you to check, and nothing is saved before you approve it.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free account is enough. Free includes one smart import a week; Plus includes up to 50 a day.
